1 Timothy 1:4-6

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴ Tell them not to use stories that are not true, and long histories of names. These things often make people quarrel. These things do not make people believe and follow God's way.

⁵ Here is what teachers should aim at. God's people should love each other with a love which comes from a clean heart, a clear mind, and true faith.

⁶ Some teachers have not tried to do these things and so they talk about things that do no good.
