2 Timothy 2:23

Foolish [μ ω ρ α ς]. In Pastorals only here and Titus 3:9. Mwrov means dull, sluggish, stupid : applied to the taste, flat, insipid : comp. mwranqh have lost his savor, Matthew 5:13. In Pastorals never substantively, a fool, but so in 1 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Corinthians 4:10. Comp. afrwn, 1 Corinthians 14:36.

Unlearned [α π α ι δ ε υ τ ο υ ς]. 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 [ζ η τ η σ ε ι ς]. Better, questionings. See on 1 Timothy 6:4. Avoid [π α ρ α ι τ ο υ]. See on 1 Timothy 4:7 Better, refuse or decline. Gender [γ ε ν ν ω σ ι]. Only here in Pastorals. In Paul, metaphorically, 1 Corinthians 4:15; Philippians 1:10; Galatians 4:24.
