1 Timothy 4:7

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

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
