O timothy

and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

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

Avoiding

he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

and the profane and old women's fables reject thou, and exercise thyself unto piety,

And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn,

to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from -- for they are unprofitable and vain.

Oppositions

And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, 'What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, 'Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,

professing to be wise, they were made fools,

for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,
