Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

Don’t have anything to do with godless stories and silly tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;

Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

But have nothing to do with pointless and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness.

But stay away from worthless stories that are typical of old women. Rather, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:

But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness,

But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness.

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

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

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
