有人偏離這些，反去講虛浮的話，

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，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,

因為有許多人不服約束，說虛空話欺哄人；那奉割禮的更是這樣。

要遠避無知的辯論和家譜的空談，以及紛爭，並因律法而起的爭競，因為這都是虛妄無益的。

惟有那愚拙無學問的辯論，總要棄絕，因為知道這等事是起爭競的。然而主的僕人不可爭競，只要溫溫和和地待眾人，善於教導，存心忍耐，

他是自高自大，一無所知，專好問難，爭辯言詞，從此就生出嫉妒、紛爭、毀謗、妄疑，並那壞了心術、失喪真理之人的爭競。他們以敬虔為得利的門路。

提摩太啊，你要保守所託付你的，躲避世俗的虛談和那敵真道、似是而非的學問。已經有人自稱有這學問，就偏離了真道。願恩惠常與你們同在！

因為已經有轉去隨從撒但的。

因為底馬貪愛現今的世界，就離棄我往帖撒羅尼迦去了；革勒士往加拉太去；提多往撻馬太去；

他們偏離了真道，說復活的事已過，就敗壞好些人的信心。
