Bible: 1 Timothy 1:3; 6:3-5

Timothy’s Task in Ephesus

1:3 As I urged you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus 1  to instruct 2  certain people not to spread false teachings, 3 

6:3 So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in 1  humankind indefinitely, 2  since 3  they 4  are mortal. 5  They 6  will remain for 120 more years.” 7 

6:4 The Nephilim 8  were on the earth in those days (and also after this) 9  when the sons of God were having sexual relations with 10  the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. 11  They were the mighty heroes 12  of old, the famous men. 13 

6:5 But the Lord saw 14  that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination 15  of the thoughts 16  of their minds 17  was only evil 18  all the time. 19
