Why are we even talking
about genealogies tonight?
fi
1 Timothy 1:3–8 (ESV) As I urged you when I was
going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may
charge certain persons not to teach any different
doctrine, 4nor to devote themselves to myths and
endless genealogies, which promote speculations
rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.
5The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure
heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
6Certain persons, by swerving from these, have
wandered away into vain discussion, 7desiring to be
teachers of the law, without understanding either what
they are saying or the things about which they make
con dent assertions.
8Now we know that the law is
good, if one uses it lawfully,
What is the lawful use of Genealogies?
DOES 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 APPLY TO GENEALOGIES?
2 Timothy 3:16–17 (ESV)
fi
All Scripture is breathed out by God and
pro table for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in
righteousness, 17that the man of God may
be complete, equipped for every good
work.

certain family trees to speci c consequences
the original audience to God’s purpose(s) for them
at that stage of human and redemptive history
the current readers to the message of that book of
the Bible
