1 Timothy 4:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 for it is hallowed by the word of God, and by prayer. [forsooth it is hallowed by the word of God, and prayer.]
6 Thou putting forth these things to brethren, shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus; nourished with words of faith and of good doctrine, which thou hast gotten [in following].
7 But eschew thou unsuitable fables [Forsooth shun thou uncovenable fables], and old women's fables; haunt thyself to piety.
