As I urged
you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may
command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to
devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote
controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work--which is by
faith.
and endless genealogies
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
Such things promote controversial speculations
2 Timothy 2:14 Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
2 Timothy 2:23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
1 Timothy 6:4-5 ... they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
