1 Timothy 1:4
Douay-Rheims
Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
Tertullian
But in the few words there always arises certainty to him; nor is he permitted to give his inquiries a wider range than is compatible with their solution; for "endless questions" the apostle forbids. It must, however, be added, that no solution may be found by any man, but such as is learned from God; and that which is learned of God is the sum and substance of the whole thing.
