15 And [2532] that [3754] from [575] a child [1025] thou hast known [1492] the holy [2413] scriptures [1121], which [3588] are able [1410] to make [4679] thee [4571] wise [4679] unto [1519] salvation [4991] through [1223] faith [4102] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
25 In [1722] meekness [4236] instructing [3811] those that oppose themselves [475]; if [3379] God [2316] peradventure [3379] will give [1325] them [846] repentance [3341] to [1519] the acknowledging [1922] of the truth [225];
23 He shall die [04191] without instruction [04148]; and in the greatness [07230] of his folly [0200] he shall go astray [07686].
9 But [1161] avoid [4026] foolish [3474] questions [2214], and [2532] genealogies [1076], and [2532] contentions [2054], and [2532] strivings about [3163] the law [3544]; for [1063] they are [1526] unprofitable [512] and [2532] vain [3152].
7 But [1161] refuse [3868] profane [952] and [2532] old wives [1126]' fables [3454], and [1161] exercise [1128] thyself [4572] rather unto [4314] godliness [2150].
6 From which [3739] some [5100] having swerved [795] have turned aside [1624] unto [1519] vain jangling [3150];
4 Neither [3366] give heed [4337] to fables [3454] and [2532] endless [562] genealogies [1076], which [3748] minister [3930] questions [2214], rather [3123] than [2228] godly [2316] edifying [3620] which [3588] is in [1722] faith [4102]: so do.
16 But [1161] shun [4026] profane [952] and vain babblings [2757]: for [1063] they will increase [4298] unto [1909] more [4119] ungodliness [763].
24 Which things [3748] are [2076] an allegory [238]: for [1063] these [3778] are [1526] the two [1417] covenants [1242]; the one [3391] [3303] from [575] the mount [3735] Sinai [4614], which gendereth [1080] to [1519] bondage [1397], which [3748] is [2076] Agar [28].
10 I beseech [3870] thee [4571] for [4012] my [1699] son [5043] Onesimus [3682], whom [3739] I have begotten [1080] in [1722] my [3450] bonds [1199]:
15 For [1063] though [1437] ye have [2192] ten thousand [3463] instructors [3807] in [1722] Christ [5547], yet [235] have ye not [3756] many [4183] fathers [3962]: for [1063] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] I [1473] have begotten [1080] you [5209] through [1223] the gospel [2098].
7 But [1161] refuse [3868] profane [952] and [2532] old wives [1126]' fables [3454], and [1161] exercise [1128] thyself [4572] rather unto [4314] godliness [2150].
4 He is proud [5187], knowing [1987] nothing [3367], but [235] doting [3552] about [4012] questions [2214] and [2532] strifes of words [3055], whereof [1537] [3739] cometh [1096] envy [5355], strife [2054], railings [988], evil [4190] surmisings [5283],
36 Thou fool [878], that which [3739] thou [4771] sowest [4687] is [2227] not [3756] quickened [2227], except [3362] it die [599]:
10 We [2249] are fools [3474] for [1223] Christ's [5547] sake [1223], but [1161] ye [5210] are wise [5429] in [1722] Christ [5547]; we [2249] are weak [772], but [1161] ye [5210] are strong [2478]; ye [5210] are honourable [1741], but [1161] we [2249] are despised [820].
18 Let [1818] no man [3367] deceive [1818] himself [1438]. If any man [1536] among [1722] you [5213] seemeth [1380] to be [1511] wise [4680] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], let him become [1096] a fool [3474], that [2443] he may be [1096] wise [4680].
13 Ye [5210] are [2075] the salt [217] of the earth [1093]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost his savour [3471], wherewith [1722] [5101] shall it be salted [233]? it is thenceforth [2089] good [2480] for [1519] nothing [3762], but [1508] to be cast [906] out [1854], and [2532] to be trodden under foot [2662] of [5259] men [444].
9 But [1161] avoid [4026] foolish [3474] questions [2214], and [2532] genealogies [1076], and [2532] contentions [2054], and [2532] strivings about [3163] the law [3544]; for [1063] they are [1526] unprofitable [512] and [2532] vain [3152].
