1 Timothy 6:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]If any man teach otherwise, and consenteth not to the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 He is puffed up and knoweth nothing, but doteth about questions and [b]strive of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Froward [c]disputations of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, which think that gain is godliness: from such separate thyself.

- 1 Timothy 6:3 He condemneth severely, and excommunicateth or casteth out of the Church as proud men, such as content not themselves with Christ’s doctrine, (that is to say, the doctrine of godliness) but weary both themselves and others in vain questions, (for all other things are vain) because they content not themselves in Christ’s doctrine: and as lying deceivers, because they savor or sound of nothing but vanity: as mad men, because they trouble themselves so much in matters of nothing: as mischievous plagues, for that they cause great contentions, and corrupt men’s minds and judgment: to be short, as profane and wicked, because they abuse the precious name of godliness and religion to filthy lucre.
- 1 Timothy 6:4 Striving about words, and not about matter: and by words he meaneth all those things which have no pith in them, and whereby we can reap no profit.
- 1 Timothy 6:5 Such as we see in those shameless schools of Popery, which are nothing else but vain babbling and prating.
