But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
