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,

蓋有人越準繩、虛誕欺詐、而宗割禮為尤甚、

若以譜系律法爭競、乃愚者之論、皆虛妄、足以損人、務必棄之、

當擯愚魯弗學之辯、蓋知爭競由是而生、惟主之僕勿爭競、必慈以處眾、施教則善、受侮則忍、

無知而自衒、辯論是務、言啟爭端、媢嫉爭競、訕謗惡意、由此而生、其人壞心術、滅真理、惟尚虛談、謂敬虔足以邀利、如此者、爾當遠之、

提摩太乎、當守所托之命、棄妄論浮詞、偽為智慧之辯、若以小智為智、是背信主之道、惟願爾得恩焉、

蓋有從撒但者、

底馬溺於世故而遺我、彼往帖撒羅尼迦、革勒士適加拉太、提多至撻馬太、

棄真理、言復生之事既往、故數人之信為所傾圮、
