“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.”
nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship of God that is by faith — the false teachers' preoccupation with genealogies (perhaps proto-gnostic cosmologies or Jewish mythological elaborations) diverts from pistis and oikonomia (stewardship/divine plan). Speculation (zetēsis) replaces the solid foundation of gospel truth.
