neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith--
"The lists of bare names in Old Testament genealogies were easily expanded into fictitious histories, supposed to illustrate God’s dealings with His people and an example is still preserved to us in the apocalyptic Book of Jubilees. The practice, indeed, was so common that the word ’genealogy’ was often used in the sense of mythical history, and this would seem to be its meaning in the present verse." [Note: E. F. Scott, The Pastoral Epistles, p. 8. See also Jerome D. Quinn, The Letter to Titus: A New Translation with Notes and Commentary and an Introduction to Titus, I and II Timothy, the Pastoral Epistles, p. 245.]
