"neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--"
— 1 Timothy 1:4, World English Bible
“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. ”
“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. ”
“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 Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--
but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
