Therefore I suffer all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is through Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

But avoid profane empty babblings; for they will increase to more ungodliness.

But avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strife:

And they may awake out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

From these also turn away. For of these are they who creep into houses, and captivate silly women laden with sins, led away by various desires,

But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but will heap to themselves teachers, according to their own desires, having itching ears.

And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
