2 To Timothy, my true child[a] in the faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.(A)
Warning against False Teachers
3 I urge you, as I did when I was on my way to Macedonia, to remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach different teachings(B) 4 and not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies that promote speculations rather than the divine training[b] that is known by faith.(C)

Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,(D) stay there in Ephesus(E) so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines(F) any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths(G) and endless genealogies.(H) Such things promote controversial speculations(I) rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith.
