有人偏離了這些而轉向空談，

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，

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,

因為也有許多人不受約束，說空話欺哄人，尤其是那些奉割禮的人。

要遠避愚拙的辯論、家譜、紛爭和因律法而起的爭辯，因為這都是虛妄無益的。

但要棄絕那愚拙無知的辯論，因為你知道這等事只會引起爭辯。主的僕人不可爭辯，只要溫和待人，善於教導，恆心忍耐，

他是自高自大，一無所知，專好爭辯，擅於舌戰，因而生出嫉妒、紛爭、毀謗、惡意猜疑，和心術不正與喪失真理的人不停地爭吵，以敬虔為得利的門路。

提摩太啊，要持守所給你的託付。要躲避世俗的空談和那假冒知識的矛盾言論。有人自稱有這知識而偏離了信仰。願恩惠與你們同在！

因為已經有一些人轉去隨從撒但了。

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

他們偏離了真理，說復活的事已過去，敗壞了好些人的信心。
