可惜有些人却偏离这些，转向空洞的谈论。

有人偏离这些，反去讲虚浮的话，

有人偏离了这些而转向空谈，

有人偏离了这些而转向空谈，

有些人偏离了这些，就转向无意义的辩论，

有些人偏离了这些，转向了虚妄的话，

有人偏離這些，反去講虛浮的話，

有人偏離了這些而轉向空談，

有人偏離了這些而轉向空談，

可惜有些人卻偏離這些，轉向空洞的談論。

有些人偏離了這些，就轉向無意義的辯論，

有些人不以這幾樣為正鵠，就偏向虛妄的談論，

有些人偏離了這些，轉向了虛妄的話，

乃有失此而向虛誕、

有人棄此、轉求虛誕、

有人棄此、轉求虛誕、

今同人中頗有不此之務、而歧入蹈虛鑿空之迷途者；

Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.

Some have turned from these teachings. They would rather talk about things that have no meaning.

Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,

But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

Some have departed from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.

Some people have strayed from these things and have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,

from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;

Some have deviated from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

因为有许多悖逆之人喜欢空谈，善于欺骗，尤其是那些奉行割礼的人。

要避免愚昧的争论、有关家谱的辩驳和律法上的争执，因为这些毫无益处。

不要参与愚昧无知的辩论，因为这些事只会引起纷争。上帝的奴仆不可与人争执，总要温和待人，善于教导，心存忍耐。

他就是狂妄自大、一无所知。这种人专好问难，争辩字句，结果引起嫉妒、纷争、毁谤和猜忌，使那些思想败坏、失去真理的人争论不休，甚至把敬虔当作生财之道。

提摩太啊，你要持守所托付给你的，避开世俗的空谈和那些违背真理、似是而非的学问。有些自称有这种学问的人已经偏离了信仰。愿恩典与你们同在！

因为有些人已经偏离正道，去追随撒旦了。

因为底马贪爱世界，离弃我跑到帖撒罗尼迦去了。革勒士去了加拉太，提多去了挞马太，

他们离经背道，说复活的事已成过去，动摇了许多人的信心。
