    In 1 Timothy 1:4, the dative plural form occurs with myths and “endless genealogies”; the APB renders the clause as furnishing “speculations rather than the management of God that is in faith.” In Titus 3:9, the accusative plural occurs among controversies, quarrels, and fights about the law; the APB renders these genealogies as things to avoid because they are “unprofitable and futile.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “genealogies” in both verses. It presents them within warnings against speculation and futile controversy.
