And eschew thou [or shun] foolish questions, and without knowing, [or discipline], witting that those engender chidings.
neither give attention to fables and genealogies that be uncertain [or without end], which give questions, more than edification of God, that is in the faith.
But eschew [or shun] thou uncovenable fables, and old women’s fables; haunt thyself to piety.
Teach thou these things, witness-ing before God. Do not thou strive in words; for to nothing it is profitable, but to the subverting of men that hear.
But eschew thou [or shun thou] unholy and vain speeches, for why those profit much to unfaithfulness,
And eschew thou foolish questions, and genealogies, and strivings [or strives], and fightings of the law; for those be unprofitable and vain.
Whereof be battles and chidings among you? Whether not of your covetings, that fight in your members?
