Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 4 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Timothy. Timothy must remain in Ephesus to confront different teachings. Paul contrasts speculation about genealogies and endless debates with the edification that comes from faith.

und nicht acht hätten auf die Fabeln und Geschlechtsregister, die kein Ende haben und Fragen aufbringen mehr denn Besserung zu Gott im Glauben;
Ni presten atención a fábulas y genealogías sin término, que antes engendran cuestiones que la edificación de Dios que es por fe; así te encargo ahora.
et de ne pas s'attacher à des fables et à des généalogies sans fin, qui produisent des discussions plutôt qu'elles n'avancent l'oeuvre de Dieu dans la foi.
E che non attendano a favole, ed a genealogie senza fine; le quali producono piuttosto quistioni, che edificazion di Dio, che è in fede
Nem se dêem a fábulas ou a genealogias intermináveis, que mais produzem questões do que edificação de Deus, que consiste na fé; assim o faço agora.
也不要聽從無稽的傳說和冗長的家譜;這樣的事只會引起爭論,無助於上帝的計劃,這計劃是憑著信才能了解的。
