But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. |
But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather to godliness. |
But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; |
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. |
But refuse and avoid irreverent legends (profane and impure and godless fictions, mere grandmothers’ tales) and silly myths, and express your disapproval of them. Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit]. |
But unhallowed and old wives’ fictions be shunning. On the other hand, be exercising yourself with a view to piety toward God. |
But steer clear of all these heathen old-wives’ tales. Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit. |
But make it your habit to let worldly and old women’s stories alone. Continue training yourself for the religious life. |
But 1161 refuse 3868 profane 952 and 2532 old wives' 1126 fables, 3454 and 1161 exercise 1128 thyself 4572 rather unto 4314 godliness. 2150 |
