1 Timothy
Chapter 4
4:1 But the Spirit expressly says, In later times some will withdraw from the faith, taking-heed to misleading spirits and teachings of demons,
4:2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience;
4:3 forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from food, which God created *for reception with thanksgiving by those who believe and recognize the truth,
4:4 because every created thing of God is good and casting off nothing if it is received with thanksgiving,
4:5 for* it is sanctified through the word of God and through intercession.
4:6 If you suggest to the brethren these things, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching which you have followed closely.
4:7 But renounce profane and old-wives' fables and exercise yourself to godliness*;
4:8 for* bodily exercise is profitable for a little health, but godliness* is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which is now and the future one.
4:9 Faithful is the saying and worthy of all acceptance.
4:10 For* we are also laboring and are reproached toward this end, because we have hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
4:11 Command and teach these things.
4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but become a pattern, in word, in spirit, in conduct, in love*, in faith, in purity, to those who believe.
4:13 Until I come, take-heed to public-reading, to encouragement, to teaching.
4:14 Do not neglect the gift* that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.
4:15 Meditate on these things; be diligent in them; that* your progress may be apparent to all.
4:16 Take-heed to yourself and to your teaching. Abide in these things; for* in practicing this, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
