O timothy

But you, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness.

Therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Avoiding

he is proud, knowing nothing. He is sick concerning doubts and arguments, from which comes envy, strife, evil speakings, evil suspicions,

nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies (which provide doubts rather than the nurture of God in faith).

But refuse profane and old-womanish tales, and exercise yourself to godliness.

But continue in the things that you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

to Titus, a true child according to our common faith. Grace mercy and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions, and strivings about the Law, for they are unprofitable and vain.

Oppositions

And certain philosophers from the Epicureans and from the Stoics met him. And some said, What will this babbler say? And others said, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons (because he preached Jesus and the resurrection to them).

Professing to be wise, they became fools

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the perceiving ones."

But, we speak wisdom among those who are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nothing.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He takes the wise in their own craftiness."

Beware lest anyone rob you through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
