teaching » Those that teach doctrines contrary to Christ’s
If anyone teaches otherwise, and consents not to healthful words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching according to godliness, he has become puffed up, knowing nothing, but morbid about questions and word-battles, out of which come envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing godliness to be a source of gain.
For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain. One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always false, evil beasts, idle gluttons." read more.

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and of faith unfeigned; read more.
which some having missed turned aside to vain talk; wishing to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

Vanity » Foolish questions, &c are
O Timothy, guard the deposit; turning away from the profane babblings, and oppositions of that which is falsely called knowledge;
But shun the profane babblings, for they will proceed to more ungodliness;
Of these things put them in remembrance, solemnly charging them before God, that they engage not in word-battles to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

But shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strife, and contentions about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
