Jangling

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

jan´gling ( ματαιολογία , mataiologı́a , "vain discourse" "babbling"): This word is not found in the American Standard Revised Version; once only in the King James Version ( 1 Timothy 1:6 ). The American Standard Revised Version has "vain talking," instead of "vain jangling," and evidently means proud, self-conceited talking against what God has revealed and against God Himself.
