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

有人偏离这些，反去讲虚浮的话，

有人偏离了这些而转向空谈，

有人偏离了这些而转向空谈，

可惜有些人却偏离这些，转向空洞的谈论。

有些人偏离了这些，就转向无意义的辩论，

有些人偏离了这些，转向了虚妄的话，

有人偏離這些，反去講虛浮的話，

有人偏離了這些而轉向空談，

有人偏離了這些而轉向空談，

可惜有些人卻偏離這些，轉向空洞的談論。

有些人偏離了這些，就轉向無意義的辯論，

有些人不以這幾樣為正鵠，就偏向虛妄的談論，

有些人偏離了這些，轉向了虛妄的話，

乃有失此而向虛誕、

有人棄此、轉求虛誕、

有人棄此、轉求虛誕、

今同人中頗有不此之務、而歧入蹈虛鑿空之迷途者；

Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.

Some have turned from these teachings. They would rather talk about things that have no meaning.

Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,

But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions.

Some have departed from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.

Some people have strayed from these things and have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,

from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;

Some have deviated from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion.

Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

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

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all[ men], apt to teach, patient,

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane[ and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace[ be] with thee. Amen.<[ The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.]>

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
