有些人偏离了这些，就转向无意义的辩论，

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，

可惜有些人却偏离这些，转向空洞的谈论。

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,

因为有许多不受约束、好讲空话和欺骗人的，尤其是那些守割礼的人，

你要远避愚昧的辩论、家谱、纷争和律法上的争执，因为这都是虚妄无益的。

你要拒绝愚蠢无知的问难；你知道这些事会引起争论。但主的仆人却不可争论，总要待人温和，善于教导，存心忍耐，

他是自高自大，一无所知，反而专好问难争辩，由此产生妒忌、纷争、毁谤、恶意的猜疑，就和那些心术败坏，丧失真理的人不断地争吵。他们视敬虔为得利的门路。

提摩太啊，你要保守所交托你的，避免世俗的空谈和冒称是知识的那种反调；有些人自称有这知识，就偏离了真道。愿恩惠与你们同在。

因为有些人已经转去跟从撒但了。

因为底马贪爱现今的世界，就离弃我到帖撒罗尼迦去了。革勒士去了加拉太，提多去了达马太。

他们偏离了真道，说复活的事已经过去了，于是毁坏了一些人的信心。
