¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;

²² which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,

⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

¹³ And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is -- A precept of men is taught!

⁹ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

⁷ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁹ and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?

⁴ nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

⁵ And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

⁶ from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

⁷ willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,

²⁵ See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who `speaketh' from heaven,

²² and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, `A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.'
