1 Timothy4:7
7 But refuse prophane and old wives fables: and exercise thy self rather unto godliness .
All impertinent discourses which tend nothing to promote either Faith or Holiness, which he disdainfully calls old Wives Fables, tales of a Tub (as we say) discourses having no bottom in the word of God, are not fit for Pulpits.
Let thy constant study be things that may promote Godliness, impart those things unto people, and live up to them in thy Conversation.
