The Bible warns against false teaching in 1 Timothy 6:3-5, emphasizing the need for sound doctrine aligned with godliness.
In 1 Timothy 6:3-5, Paul cautions against those who teach doctrines that stray from the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Such teachings produce pride, strife, and discord rather than the humility and love that accompany true gospel doctrine. The passage underscores the importance of adhering to sound doctrine that fosters spiritual growth and unity among believers, rather than engaging in disputes that lead to envy and jealousy. The true gospel is meant to cultivate a spirit of love and fellowship, not division.
