1 Timothy 1

3 When I was on my way to Macedonia I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus, so that you could speak with those who teach false ideas and insist that they stop. 4 They shouldn’t concern themselves with legends and never-ending obsessions about ancestry.*1:4. Or "endless genealogies"—a situation that is not clear from the context. Such ideas only lead to pointless debates, instead of understanding God as we trust in him.
