1 Timothy 1:5-7

Warning Against False Teachers

⁵ The aim of our charge is love _l that issues from a pure heart and _m a good conscience and _n a sincere faith. ⁶ Certain persons, by _o swerving from these, have wandered away into _p vain discussion, ⁷ desiring to be teachers of the law, _q without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
