What it says
he is conceited and understands nothing, but has a sick interest in controversies and disputes about words that breed envy, strife, slander, and evil suspicion.
What it is doing
It describes the diseased intellectual and relational fruit of such teaching.
In context
3If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.
