Bible References

O timothy

But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.

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

Avoiding

he is puffed up and knoweth nothing: but wasteth his brains about questions, and strife of words, whereof spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings

neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith:

But cast away unghostly and old wives' fables. Exercise thyself unto godliness.

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, which also were committed unto thee, seeing thou knowest of whom thou hast learned them.

To Titus, his natural son in the common faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our saviour.

Foolish questions, and genealogies, and brawlings and strife about the law; avoid, for they are unprofitable, and superfluous.

Oppositions

Certain Philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, disputed with him. And some there were which said, "What will this babbler say?" Others said, "He seemeth to be a tidings-bringer of new devils," because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

When they counted themselves wise, they became fools

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent."

That we speak of is wisdom among them that are perfect - not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world, which goeth to nought -

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

Beware lest any man come and spoil you through philosophy and deceitful vanity, through the traditions of men, and ordinances after the world, and not after Christ.
