⁴ And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

¹¹ But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

⁷ But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

⁴ Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

²⁰ O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

²⁵ Grace be with you all. Amen.
