But concerning the gentiles who have believed, we have sent, judging that they should avoid things offered to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication.

I exhort you, brothers, to observe those that cause dissensions and offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned, and avoid them;

Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his body.

Wherefore, my beloved, avoid idolatry.

but avoid profane and silly myths; exercise yourself in piety;

But do you, O man of God, avoid these things; but pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.

But profane and vain words, avoid; for they greatly increase impiety,

But avoid youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

But foolish and trifling disputes avoid, knowing that they produce contentions;

having a form of piety but denying its power; and these avoid.

But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes and contentions about the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
