1 Timothy 6:20

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

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

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

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

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

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

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

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

Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

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