Bible: 1 Timothy 1:4-6; 6:4-5

1:4 nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. 1  Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan 2  that operates by faith. 1:5 But the aim of our instruction 3  is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. 4  1:6 Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

6:4 The Nephilim 1  were on the earth in those days (and also after this) 2  when the sons of God were having sexual relations with 3  the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. 4  They were the mighty heroes 5  of old, the famous men. 6 

6:5 But the Lord saw 7  that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination 8  of the thoughts 9  of their minds 10  was only evil 11  all the time. 12
