14 Keep reminding them of these things, instructing them before God not to fight about words, something of no usefulness at all because it harms those listening.

10 For there are many rebellious men, profitless talkers, and deceivers, especially those who adhere to the circumcision.+

9 But have nothing to do with foolish arguments+ and genealogies and disputes and fights over the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile.+
