8 Trustworthy [is] the saying, and concerning these things I want you to affirm strongly so that may take care to good works to be devoted those already believing in God; These things are excellent and profitable to men.

Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I will that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they which have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:

9 Foolish however controversies and genealogies and (arguments *NK+O) and quarrels about [the] Law do yourself avoid; they are for unprofitable and worthless.

but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
