No Vain Jangling!

The Westminster Larger Chatechism Answer 113 points out that the 3rd commandment forbids "vain janglings". John Frame helpfully comments that:

In case any readers are not convicted of the sin of vain jangling, the phrase is from the KJV translation of 1 Tim 1:6. The Greek term is also translated "vain discussion" (ESV) and "meaningless talk" (NIV).
