< 1 Timothy 4 >

1 But the Spirit expressly states that in later times will depart from some from the faith giving heed to spirits deceitful and to teachings of demons 2 in hypocrisy of speakers of lies, seared [in their] own conscience, 3 forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and by [those] already knowing the truth. 4 For every creature of God [is] good and no [thing is] to be rejected with thanksgiving being received; 5 it is sanctified for through [the] word of God and prayer. 6 These things laying before the brothers good you will be a servant of Christ Jesus being nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have closely followed; 7 But profane and silly fables do refuse; do train rather yourself to godliness. 8 For bodily exercise of a little is profit, but godliness for everything profitable is [the] promise holding of life of the present and which is coming. 9 Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy. 10 Towards this for (also *k) we toil and (strive, *N+KO) because we have hope on God [the] living, who is [the] Savior of all men especially of believers. 11 do command these things and do teach. 12 no one your youth should despise, but a pattern do be for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love (in spirit *K) in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, do give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching, 14 Not do be negligent of the in you gift which was given to you through prophecy with [the] laying on of the hands of the elderhood. 15 These things do ponder, in them do be absorbed, so that your progress evident may be (in *k) all. 16 do give heed to yourself and to the teaching; do continue in them; this for doing both yourself you will save and those hearing you.
