3 Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness(A) 4 is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words. From these come envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,(B) 5 and wrangling among those who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.[a](C)
