Ephesians 4:14

14 so that we may no longer be children, ^dtossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^edeceitful schemes.

Philippians 1:15-16

15 ^fSome indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, ^gknowing that I am put here for ^hthe defense of the gospel.

Colossians 2:4

4 I say this in order ⁱthat no one may delude you with plausible arguments.

Colossians 2:8

8 See to it that no one takes you captive by ^jphilosophy and ^kempty deceit, according to ^lhuman tradition, according to the ^melemental spirits ^{▼▼Or elementary principles; also verse 20} of the world, and not according to Christ.

1 Timothy 1:4-7

4 nor ^oto devote themselves to myths and endless ^pgenealogies, which promote ^qspeculations rather than the stewardship ^{▼▼Or good order} from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love ^sthat issues from a pure heart and ^ta good conscience and ^ua sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by ^vswerving from these, have wandered away into ^wvain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, ^xwithout understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1 Now ^ythe Spirit expressly says that ^zin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to ^aadeceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of ^abliars whose consciences are seared, 3 ^acwho forbid marriage and ^adrequire abstinence from foods ^aethat God created ^afto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

1 Timothy 6:3-5

3 If anyone ^agteaches a different doctrine and does not agree with ^ahthe sound ^{▼▼Or healthy} words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching ^ajthat accords with godliness, 4 ^akhe is puffed up with conceit and ^alunderstands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for ^amcontroversy and for ^anquarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people ^aowho are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, ^apimagining that godliness is a means of gain.
