勿聽虛誕之詞、無窮之譜、第滋辯論、不使篤信上帝。

也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语和无穷的家谱；这等事只生辩论，并不发明神在信上所立的章程。

也不要听从无稽的传说和冗长的家谱；这样的事只会引起争论，无助于上帝的计划，这计划是凭着信才能了解的。

也不要听从无稽的传说和冗长的家谱；这样的事只会引起争论，无助于神的计划，这计划是凭着信才能了解的。

也不要沉迷于虚构的神话和冗长的家谱，因为这些事只会引起无用的猜测和辩论，无法帮助人凭信心认识上帝的救赎计划。

也不可沉迷于无稽之谈和无穷的家谱；这些事只能引起争论，对于神在信仰上所定的计划是毫无帮助的。

也不可关注那些编造的故事和无穷的家谱：这些事只带来疑惑，而无助于神所赐的信仰上的任务。

也不可沉迷於無稽之談和無窮的家譜；這些事只能引起爭論，對於神在信仰上所定的計劃是毫無幫助的。

也不要意向着荒唐的傳說和無窮的族譜；這一類的事只能激起空論，無補於上帝在信仰上所作的安排——現在我也這樣勸你。

也不可關注那些編造的故事和無窮的家譜：這些事只帶來疑惑，而無助於神所賜的信仰上的任務。

勿聽虛誕之詞、及無窮譜系、此第滋生辯論、非因信而為上帝之役事、

勿聽虛誕之詞、及無窮之譜系、此第滋生辯論、不能以信建天主之家、我今亦勸爾如此行、

勿傾心於無稽之談、以及不可窮究之祖譜耳。此種研究、徒滋紛爭、非所以建植信德、而促進天主之聖謨也。

or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work— which is by faith.

And command them not to spend their time on stories that are made up. They must not waste time on family histories that never end. These things only lead to fights about ideas. They don’t help God’s work move forward. His work is done by faith.

nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.

Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.

nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation rather than advance the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now.

nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

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.

or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:[ so do].

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.

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

若以譜系律法爭競、乃愚者之論、皆虛妄、足以損人、務必棄之、

當棄妄言老媼之談、練習敬虔、

勿聽猶太之虛誕、背道之話言、

背真理、向虛誕、

素吾以主耶穌基督大力降臨示爾、非虛誕飾辭、乃目擊其大榮、

爾以是道、俾人強識、主前諭眾、勿言啟爭端、不第無益、且足以惑聽聞、

提摩太乎、當守所托之命、棄妄論浮詞、偽為智慧之辯、

有人傳異教、背吾主耶穌基督正理棄敬虔之至道、無知而自衒、辯論是務、言啟爭端、媢嫉爭競、訕謗惡意、由此而生、其人壞心術、滅真理、惟尚虛談、謂敬虔足以邀利、如此者、爾當遠之、

戒血氣之欲、從仁、義信、與清心籲主名者相睦、

勿為諸異端煽惑、以恩道堅厥心、則得益、如飲食是別、何益之有、

惟爾事上帝之人、在所必戒、而從義、虔、信、仁、柔、忍、

當棄諸妄論浮詞、因浸久弊必叢滋、其言譬諸瘡痏、蔓延厥體、有若許米乃、腓理徒、棄真理、言復生之事既往、故數人之信為所傾圮、

敬主之道、至大至妙、無不以為然、上帝假人身而顯著、稱義於聖神、見於天使、聞於異邦、信於天下、而躋光明之域、

今吾喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生悔改、蓋爾憂、遵上帝道而憂、明我不虧爾、夫遵上帝道而憂者、其悔改無後悔、而得救、從世俗而憂者、致人於死、

上帝僕、耶穌基督使徒保羅、為傳上帝選民所信之道、俾識敬虔真理、

使聖徒德備克、盡厥職、廣基督之體、至於我眾共此信、識上帝子、得成人、其分量充實若基督、毋若小子、受人詭譎伎倆、以其教風動煽惑、基督為教會首、爾居仁而言實、萬事託之生長、賴基督全體聯絡鞏固、百節相承、依才運動、故能生長、充周以仁、

我非恃人智、恃上帝恩、以上帝所賦之丹心誠意、往來於世、在爾間為尤甚、此我所喜、心所證也、
