1 Timothy 1:4-7

4nor ato devote themselves to myths and endless bgenealogies, which promote cspeculations rather than the stewardship
Or good order
from God that is by faith.
5The aim of our charge is love ethat issues from a pure heart and fa good conscience and ga sincere faith. 6Certain persons, by hswerving from these, have wandered away into ivain discussion, 7desiring to be teachers of the law, jwithout understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

1 Timothy 6:20

20O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. kAvoid the lirreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”

2 Timothy 2:16

16But mavoid nirreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

Titus 1:1-2

Greeting

1Paul, a servant
Or slave (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
of God and pan apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and qtheir knowledge of the truth, rwhich accords with godliness,
2 sin hope of eternal life, which God, twho never lies, upromised vbefore the ages began
Greek before times eternal
