The Christian must avoid
the godless chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge (I Timothy 6:20).
The «
godless chatter,» whatever its actual content, would by shaped by the culture and not by the cross of Jesus.
Paul writes about sapientia, or wisdom - lived words, while the Ephesians were engaged in scientia, «
godless chatter.»
We don't know what the «
godless chatter» was in Ephesus.
