1 Timothy 1:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Unto Timothy my natural son in the faith: Grace, [a]mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 [b]As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so do, that thou mayest warn some, that they teach none other doctrine,
4 [c]Neither that they give heed to fables and [d]genealogies which are endless, which breed questions rather than godly edifying which is by faith.

- 1 Timothy 1:2 There is as much difference betwixt mercy and grace, as is betwixt the effect, and the cause: For grace is that free good will of God, whereby he chose us in Christ, and mercy is that free justification which followeth it.
- 1 Timothy 1:3 This whole Epistle consisteth in admonitions, wherein all the duties of a faithful Pastor are lively set out. And the first admonition is this, that no innovation be made either in the Apostle’s doctrine itself, or in the manner of teaching it.
- 1 Timothy 1:4 The doctrine is corrupted not only by false opinions, but also by vain and curious speculations: the declaration and utterance whereof can nothing help our faith.
- 1 Timothy 1:4 He noteth out one kind of vain question.
