Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue.

for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.'

who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,

for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.

I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you.

let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!

nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --
