MSG ^(1-5)The Spirit makes it clear that as time goes on, some are going to give up on the faith and chase after demonic illusions put forth by professional liars. These liars have lied so well and for so long that they’ve lost their capacity for truth. They will tell you not to get married. They’ll tell you not to eat this or that food—perfectly good food God created to be eaten heartily and with thanksgiving by believers who know better!

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀπέχεσθαι

˓to_be˒_keeping_away

Here Paul leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. He does not mean that these false teachers will forbid believers to abstain from certain foods, but that the false teachers will require them to abstain from certain foods. You could supply these words if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [requiring to abstain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων

˓to_be˒_keeping_away ˱from˲_foods

Here Paul implies that the false teachers were telling people to abstain from certain kinds of foods. They were not telling people to abstain from eating in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [to abstain from specific foods] or [to abstain from certain types of food]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

βρωμάτων ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἔκτισεν

˱from˲_foods that ¬the God created

Here Paul is further describing the foods from which the false teachers required people to abstain. He is not distinguishing between some foods that God created and other foods that God did not create. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different form that describes something rather than distinguishes between things. Alternate translation: [from foods, those which God created] or [from foods. God created these foods]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ εὐχαριστίας

with thanksgiving

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of thanksgiving, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [thankfully]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀλήθειαν

the truth

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the true teaching]
