This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Foolish (μωρὰς)
In Pastorals only here and Tit 3:9. Μωρός means dull, sluggish, stupid: applied to the taste, flat, insipid: comp. μωρανθῇ have lost his savor, Mat 5:13. In Pastorals never substantively, a fool, but so in 1Co 3:18; 1Co 4:10. Comp. ἄφρων, 1Co 15:36.
Unlearned (ἀπαιδεύτους)
Rev. ignorant is better; but the meaning at bottom is undisciplined: questions of an untrained mind, carried away with novelties: questions which do not proceed from any trained habit of thinking.
Questions (ζητήσεις)
Better, questionings. See on 1Ti 6:4.
Avoid (παραιτοῦ)
See on 1Ti 4:7. Better, refuse or decline.
Gender (γεννῶσι)
Only here in Pastorals. In Paul, metaphorically, 1Co 4:15; Phm 1:10; Gal 4:24.
