Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.

Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them.For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.

Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.

I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom:

I solemnly command you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus and the highest angels to obey these instructions without taking sides or showing favoritism to anyone.

“‘ Don’t be fooled into thinking that you will never suffer because the Temple is here. It’s a lie!

And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate,

So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.

“ We understand that some men from here have troubled you and upset you with their teaching, but we did not send them!

Don’t go back to worshiping worthless idols that cannot help or rescue you— they are totally useless!

Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

The priests did not ask,‘ Where is the Lord?’ Those who taught my word ignored me, the rulers turned against me, and the prophets spoke in the name of Baal, wasting their time on worthless idols.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers who live idle lives and don’t follow the tradition they received from us.

But stop using this phrase,‘ prophecy from the Lord.’ For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

“ What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation— a god that can’t even talk!

but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.

Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols!

With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused.

“ Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.

Then he said,“ You son of the devil, full of every sort of deceit and fraud, and enemy of all that is good! Will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?

Lord, you are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! Nations from around the world will come to you and say,“ Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless idols.

Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior.

I am against these false prophets. Their imaginary dreams are flagrant lies that lead my people into sin. I did not send or appoint them, and they have no message at all for my people. I, the Lord, have spoken!

This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.
