BLB 1TIM Chapter 4

4 But the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 in the hypocrisy of liars, having been seared in the own conscience, 3 forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and those knowing the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 Laying before the brothers these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good teaching that you have closely followed. 7 But refuse profane and silly fables. Rather, train yourself to godliness. 8 For bodily exercise is of a little profit, but godliness is profitable for everything, holding the promise of the present life and of the one coming. 9 Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance. 10 For to this we toil and strive, because we have hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. 11 Command and teach these things. 12 Let no one despise your youth, but be a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not be negligent of the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood. 15 Ponder these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all. 16 Give heed to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them; for doing this, you will save both yourself and those hearing you.
