Making the word of God of none
effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like
things do ye. Mark 7:13 KJV
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good
minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good
doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto
godliness. 1 Timothy 4:6-7 KJV
