Warning Against False Doctrines I Timothy 1:4-11 (NLT)


4    Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.
5    The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
6    But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.
7    They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.
8    We know that the law is good when used correctly.
9    For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders.
10   The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching
11  that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.
