1 Timothy 6:4

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

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

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

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

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

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

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,

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
