2 Timotius 2:23

2:23 But reject foolish and ignorant ¹  controversies, because you know they breed infighting. ² 

[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “uninstructed,” “silly.”

[2:23]  ² tn Or “fights,” although this could suggest weapons and blows, whereas in the present context this is not the primary focus. Although “quarrel” is frequently used here (NAB, NIV, NRSV) it may be understood to refer to a relatively minor disagreement.
