有人棄此、轉求虛誕、

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、

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,

蓋有多人不服者、言虛誕、行誘惑、而奉割禮者為尤甚、

惟愚者之辯問、譜系之談論、律法之爭競、爾當遠之、此皆虛妄無益者、

惟愚魯無學之辯論、爾當避之、因知爭競由是而生、夫主之僕不可爭競、必以慈愛待眾、善於施教、亦當忍耐、

此人乃心驕、一無所知、專好辯問鬥辭、由此生妒嫉、爭競、訕謗、妄疑、並壞心術、喪真理之人所尚虛誕之爭辯、彼以虔敬為獲利之法、如此之人、爾當遠避、如此之人爾當遠避有原文抄本無此二句

提摩太乎、爾當守所託付爾者、避妄論虛詞、及偽稱智慧之辨問、蓋有人從之、而迷失信主之道、願恩寵偕爾眾、阿們、

蓋其中已有從撒但者、

底瑪慕悅此世、因而離我、往帖撒羅尼加、革勒先往加拉太、提多往達瑪太、

彼眾迷失正道、言復活之事已過、致傾覆數人之信、
