1 Timothy 1:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 My purpose in telling you to do this is to promote love—the kind of love shown by those whose thoughts are pure, who do what they know is right, and whose faith in God is real. 6 But some have missed this key point in their teaching and have gone off in another direction. Now they talk about things that help no one. 7 They want to be teachers of the law,[a] but they don’t know what they are talking about. They don’t even understand the things they say they are sure of.

1 Timothy 1:5-7
New International Version
5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart(A) and a good conscience(B) and a sincere faith.(C) 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers(D) of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.(E)
