Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

But avoid profane chatter, because those occupied with it will stray further and further into ungodliness,

You, however, must continue in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know who taught youand how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels pass judgment on you. That person goes on at great lengths about what he has supposedly seen, but he is puffed up with empty notions by his fleshly mind.

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.

Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

to obey this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold on to the traditions that we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.Protect that good thing entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written,“ He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught, so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teaching and correct those who speak against it.

So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

Also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were asking,“ What does this foolish babbler want to say?” Others said,“ He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods.”( They said this because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)

But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness.

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, quarrels, and fights about the law, because they are useless and empty.

As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring.

For it is written,“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

( All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there used to spend their time in nothing else than telling or listening to something new.)

This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.

and not pay attention to Jewish myths and commands of people who reject the truth.

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

Therefore, remember what you received and heard, and obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I will come against you.

To Titus, my genuine son in a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior!

he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and verbal disputes. This gives rise to envy, dissension, slanders, evil suspicions,and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
