teaching » Those that teach doctrines contrary to Christ’s
If any one teaches heterodoxy, and refuses to consent to the wholesome words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teachings of religion, he is puffed up with conceit and knows nothing, but is doting about disputations and a strife of words. These give rise to envy, quarrels, railings, evil suspicions, and wrangling between men whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth; who suppose that godliness is a source of gain.
For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped; for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre's sake, teach what they ought not to teach. By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons." read more.
This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply, so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.

As I begged you when I was setting out for Macedonia, stay where you are at Ephesus, and instruct certain individuals there not to be teaching heterodoxy, nor to be paying attention to myths and interminable genealogies, which tend to promote discussions rather than a stewardship entrusted by God, a stewardship which is in faith. Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith. read more.
Some have failed here, and have turned aside to empty argument. Although they desire to be teachers of the law, they understand neither the words they use nor the subjects they talk about.
