and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith—

也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语和无穷的家谱；这等事只生辩论，并不发明神在信上所立的章程。

也不要听从无稽的传说和冗长的家谱；这样的事只会引起争论，无助于上帝的计划，这计划是凭着信才能了解的。

也不要听从无稽的传说和冗长的家谱；这样的事只会引起争论，无助于神的计划，这计划是凭着信才能了解的。

也不要沉迷于虚构的神话和冗长的家谱，因为这些事只会引起无用的猜测和辩论，无法帮助人凭信心认识上帝的救赎计划。

也不可沉迷于无稽之谈和无穷的家谱；这些事只能引起争论，对于神在信仰上所定的计划是毫无帮助的。

也不可关注那些编造的故事和无穷的家谱：这些事只带来疑惑，而无助于神所赐的信仰上的任务。

也不可聽從荒渺無憑的話語和無窮的家譜；這等事只生辯論，並不發明神在信上所立的章程。

也不可沉迷於無稽之談和無窮的家譜；這些事只能引起爭論，對於神在信仰上所定的計劃是毫無幫助的。

也不要意向着荒唐的傳說和無窮的族譜；這一類的事只能激起空論，無補於上帝在信仰上所作的安排——現在我也這樣勸你。

也不可關注那些編造的故事和無窮的家譜：這些事只帶來疑惑，而無助於神所賜的信仰上的任務。

勿聽虛誕之詞、及無窮譜系、此第滋生辯論、非因信而為上帝之役事、

勿聽虛誕之詞、無窮之譜、第滋辯論、不使篤信上帝。

勿聽虛誕之詞、及無窮之譜系、此第滋生辯論、不能以信建天主之家、我今亦勸爾如此行、

勿傾心於無稽之談、以及不可窮究之祖譜耳。此種研究、徒滋紛爭、非所以建植信德、而促進天主之聖謨也。

or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work— which is by faith.

And command them not to spend their time on stories that are made up. They must not waste time on family histories that never end. These things only lead to fights about ideas. They don’t help God’s work move forward. His work is done by faith.

nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.

Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.

nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advance the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now.

nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now.

or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:[ so do].

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.

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

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.

For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
