Titus 3:9

¹⁴Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

²³But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

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

¹⁶But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

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

³As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine, ⁴and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith. ⁵But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith, ⁶from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking, ⁷desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.

³Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

¹Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

²If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.
