2 Timothy 2:23

English Majority Text Version

But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they bring forth fights.

See the chapter Copy

nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

But reject profane and old wives' tales, and exercise yourself unto godliness.

Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to dispute about words, useful for nothing, for the ruin of the hearers.

But shun profane and empty babblings; for they will advance to more ungodliness.

But avoid foolish disputes and genealogies, and strifes and legal fights; for they are unprofitable and futile.

From where come wars and disputes among you? Is it not from here, from your lusts, which war in your members?
