Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, or whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully. (1 Tim 1:4-8).
See what the end of the commandment is! This means the purpose of the law. Its purpose is not found in the letter, but in love, a pure heart and a good conscience. This is what God wants in us, not law.
