This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Not giving heed (μὴ προσέχοντες)
Reprove sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, and may show their soundness by not giving heed, etc. See on 1Ti 1:4.
To Jewish fables (Ἱουδαΐκοῖς μύθοις)
See on 1Ti 1:4. Note Jewish. The nature of these we do not know.
Commandments of men (ἐντολαῖς ἀνθρώπων)
See on 1Ti 6:14. Comp. Col 2:22. Prescriptions concerning abstinence from meats, marriage, etc. The men are probably those of the circumcision, Tit 1:10. What they teach theoretically, by means of the myths, they bring to bear practically, by means of their precepts.
That turn from the truth (ἀποστρεφομένων τὴν ἀλήθειαν)
Comp. 2Ti 4:4, where the truth and fables appear in contrast.
