| 3 | If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness, |
| 4 | he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, |
| 5 | and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. |
| 20 | O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge, |
| 21 | for by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you. |
