Don’t have anything to do with arguing. It is dumb and foolish. You know it only leads to fights.

惟有那愚拙无学问的辩论，总要弃绝，因为知道这等事是起争竞的。

但要弃绝那愚拙无知的辩论，因为你知道这等事只会引起争辩。

惟愚魯弗學之辯論、則拒之、蓋知此乃生爭競也、

當擯愚魯弗學之辯、蓋知爭競由是而生、

惟愚魯無學之辯論、爾當避之、因知爭競由是而生、

凡無知愚昧之辯、徒滋口角、慎莫為之。

Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

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

But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, because you know that they breed quarrels.

But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.

But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.

But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

But reject foolish and ignorant controversies, because you know they breed infighting.

But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

But keep away from foolish disagreements. Don’t argue about family histories. Don’t make trouble. Don’t fight about what the law teaches. Don’t argue about things like that. It doesn’t do any good. It doesn’t help anyone.

Keep reminding God’s people of these things. While God is watching, warn them not to argue about words. That doesn’t have any value. It only destroys those who listen.

Don’t have anything to do with godless stories and silly tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

Stay away from godless chatter. Those who take part in it will become more and more ungodly.

Then that person is proud and doesn’t understand anything. They like to argue more than they should. They can’t agree about what words mean. All of this results in wanting what others have. It causes fighting, harmful talk, and evil distrust.It stirs up trouble all the time among people whose minds are twisted by sin. The truth they once had has been taken away from them. They think they can get rich by being godly.

And command them not to spend their time on stories that are made up. They must not waste time on family histories that never end. These things only lead to fights about ideas. They don’t help God’s work move forward. His work is done by faith.
