Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.

If someone spreads false teachings and does not agree with sound words( that is, those of our Lord Jesus Christ) and with the teaching that accords with godliness,he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and verbal disputes.

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.
