But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
