Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
