Regarding the use of the word "myth" (Greek, "myths") in the Bible, it rejects absolutely all myth. Indeed, for the biblical authors, myth, according to a later meaning, is an "invented narrative."
The pastoral epistles (1 Tim. 1:4; 4:7; Tit. 1:14) combat myth as synonymous with deceit and error, incompatible with the truth (2 Tim. 4:4; Tit. 1:14) ; These are probably texts of "Jewish fables" and "genealogies" (1 Tim. 1:4; perhaps the series of Gnostic aeons), which must be called "profane" (1 Tim. 4:7; cf. 1 Tim. 6:20: "empty speeches"; cf. also 2 Tim. 2:16). 2 Pet. 1:16 opposes myths to the true account of eyewitnesses.
