"desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm."
— 1 Timothy 1:7, World English Bible
“Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.”
“desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. ”
“They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.”
“Desiring to be teachers of the law: understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.”
“Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.”
“Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.”

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
