'Away' in the Bible

I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;

Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from -- for they are unprofitable and vain.
