2 Timothy 4:4

¹¹But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.

⁴and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

¹⁶For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.

⁷But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

¹⁴not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

²⁰Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

¹⁵This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

³²For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.
