American Standard Version
"neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now. "
— 1 Timothy 1:4, American Standard Version
“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. ”
“neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--”
“nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.”
“Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which furnish questions rather than the edification of God which is in faith.”
“Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;”
“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. ”
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now.
But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
