Context Readings

False Teachers And The Love Of Money

3 If any one teaches heterodoxy, and refuses to consent to the wholesome words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teachings of religion, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and knows nothing, but is doting about disputations and a strife of words. These give rise to envy, quarrels, railings, evil suspicions, 5 and wrangling between men whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth; who suppose that godliness is a source of gain.
