2 Timothy 2:14 Of these things put [ them] in remembrance, charging [ them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [ but] to the subverting of the hearers.
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane [ and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [ so do].

1 Timothy 6:4- 5 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, ... Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
