Exegesis
That knowledge is expressed in the content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hóti}, “that they produce quarrels,” where the present indicative gennōsi {γεννῶσι | gennôsi} conveys an ongoing, typical result and machas {μάχας | máchas} highlights the relational breakdown produced by such disputes. In translation, the direct object is moved after the imperative (“avoid the foolish and untrained questions”) to sound natural in English, while the participial clause “knowing that they produce quarrels” is preserved as a causal rationale, maintaining the Greek logical flow from command to consequence.
Root and etymology
machēmu–alpha–chi–eta
