But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
All Commentaries on Titus 3:9 Go To Titus 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
“Contentions,” he means, with heretics. He would not have us labor to no purpose, where nothing is to be gained, for they end in nothing. For when a man is perverted and predetermined not to change his mind, whatever may happen, why should you labor in vain, sowing upon a rock, when you should spend your honorable toil upon your own people, in discoursing with them upon almsgiving and every other virtue?.
