2 Timothy 2:23

decline all impertinent barren disputes, since they only serve for contention.

but avoid frivolous enquiries about genealogies, and vexatious disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

These things represent, conjuring them by the presence of the Lord, to avoid disputes about words, which only serve to pervert the audience.

or trouble their heads with fables and endless genealogies, which rather promote disputes than the gospel-dispensation:

as for prophane and groundless fables, reject them.

he is full of pride and ignorance, touch'd with a spirit of chicanery and wrangling, productive of envy, contention, calumny,

discountenance such as hold vain irreligious discourse; for they will grow bold in impiety,

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

These things represent, conjuring them by the presence of the Lord, to avoid disputes about words, which only serve to pervert the audience.

or trouble their heads with fables and endless genealogies, which rather promote disputes than the gospel-dispensation:

as for prophane and groundless fables, reject them.

he is full of pride and ignorance, touch'd with a spirit of chicanery and wrangling, productive of envy, contention, calumny,

but avoid frivolous enquiries about genealogies, and vexatious disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
