Worthless

“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
