Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

只是要弃绝那世俗的言语和老妇荒渺的话，在敬虔上操练自己。

要弃绝那世俗的言语和老妇的无稽传说。要在敬虔上操练自己：

但你要弃绝世俗、荒诞的传说，要训练自己做个敬虔的人。

总要弃绝世俗以及老妇的无稽之谈；要操练自己达到敬虔的地步。

當棄老媼妄誕不經之談、而自練敬虔、

當棄妄言老媼之談、練習敬虔、

虛誕之詞、屬老媼不經之談、爾當棄之、惟練習虔敬、

凡世俗之寓言、及村嫗之神話、慎毋注意。惟宜兢兢業業、修身砥行、以達聖域。

Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

Don’t have anything to do with godless stories and silly tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;

But have nothing to do with pointless and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness.

But stay away from worthless stories that are typical of old women. Rather, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:

But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness,

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself[ rather] unto godliness.

But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness.

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

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.

Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior.

In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,and knowledge with self control, and self control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,

Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.

Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.

Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.

But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.

They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

Because of this, I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and all people.

For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.

Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so called knowledge.
