1 Timothy 6:3-5; 1 Timothy 6:20-21 (New Living Translation)
3
Some false teachers may deny these things, but these are the sound, wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they are the foundation for a godly life.
4
Anyone who teaches anything different is both conceited and ignorant. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, fighting, slander, and evil suspicions.
5
These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they don't tell the truth. To them religion is just a way to get rich.
20
Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge.
21
Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness.May God's grace be with you all.
