Exegesis
The verse begins with the accusative phrase tas moras kai apaideutous zeteseis {τὰς μωρὰς καὶ ἀπαιδεύτους ζητήσεις | tàs mōrás kaí apaideútous zētḗseis}, functioning as the fronted direct object of the imperative.
This places rhetorical emphasis on the quality of the “questions,” described by two attributive adjectives, moras {μωρὰς | mōrás} and apaideutous {ἀπαιδεύτους | apaideútous}, which together portray inquiries that lack wisdom and proper formation.
In context — 2 Timothy 2:23
But avoid the foolish and untrained questions, knowing that they produce quarrels .
