A Warning against Apostasy
4 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and [the] teachings of demons, 2 influenced by [the] hypocrisy of liars, [whose] consciences are seared with a hot iron.
3 They will prohibit marriage [and require] abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creation of God [is] good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected, 5 because it is sanctified by [the] word of God and prayer.
