1 Timothy 6:3

³As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

¹⁰for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

¹⁷Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

³For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

⁹holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine, ²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

⁶from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

¹Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ,^[+] according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

⁸Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

¹³Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
