²³ But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

⁶ Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

¹⁰ But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

⁷ Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
