1 Timothy 1:6
Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
BSB
ASV
from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
KJV
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
From which some having swerved - From which some, though they have pretended to aim at the τελος, scope, or mark, have missed that mark. This is the import of the original word αστοχησαντες. Turned aside unto vain jangling - The original term, ματαιολογιαν, signifies empty or vain talking; discourses that turn to no profit; a great many words and little sense; and that sense not worth the pains of hearing. Such, indeed, is all preaching where Jesus Christ is not held forth.
From which - Love and a good conscience. Some are turned aside - An affectation of high and extensive knowledge sets a man at the greatest distance from faith, and all sense of divine things. To vain jangling - And of all vanities, none are more vain than dry, empty disputes on the things of God.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.
But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
