As I exhorted thee when I was going into Macedonia, abide at Ephesus; that thou mayest charge some to teach no other doctrine, Neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies,

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
