1 Timothy 4

1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎧᏁᎬ ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢᏳ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᏧᏂᏲᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏓᎾᏛᏓᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᏗᏓᏅᏙ, ᎠᎴ ᏓᎾᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᏍᎩᎾ,

2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,

ᎤᎾᏠᎾᏍᏛ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᎠᏂᏬᏂᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᏚᎾᏓᏅᏛ ᏗᎦᎴᏴᏔᏅᎯ ᏔᎷᎩᏍᎩ ᎤᏗᎴᎩ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ;

3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

ᏂᎦᎥᏰᏃ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏪᏢᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏏᏳ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏲᎢᏎᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᏓᏅᏛ ᏱᏛᏓᏂᎸᎦ;

5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

ᎦᏓᎭᏰᏃ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.

6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᎩᏯᏅᏓᏗᏍᏔᏅ, ᎰᏍᏛ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎡᏣᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎡᏤᎳᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏥᎧᏃᎮᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏗᏕᏲᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᏗᏣᏂᏴᏛ ᏥᎩ.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

ᏕᏣᏲᎢᏎᎮᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᏪᏢᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎤᏂᏃᎮᎸᏗ ᏥᎩ; ᎠᎴ ᏣᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏁᎶᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.

8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.

ᎠᏰᎸᎢᏰᏃ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏳ ᎠᏓᏍᏕᎵᎭ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᏁᎶᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎬᏩᏓᏍᏕᎸᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎠᏚᎢᏍᏗ ᎠᏥᏁᏗᏱ ᎬᏅ ᎪᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏱᎶᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.

9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.

ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎢᎦᏪᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᏩᏍᏛ ᏧᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗᏳ;

10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎯᏁᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᏕᎭᏕᏲᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ.

12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

ᏫᏥᎷᏨᎭ ᎢᏯᏍᏘ ᏕᏣᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎪᏪᎵ ᏕᎯᎪᎵᏰᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᎯᏬᏁᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᎭᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬᎢ.

14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.

15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.

16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
