1 Timothy 4

Previous chapter Index Next chapter
1 The Spirit clearly says that in the last days some will fall away from the faith, listening to the deceitful spirits and demonic teachings,
2 Through the hypocrisy of the false men, burned in their conscience,
3 Forbidding to marry [and] to eat what God created, so that the faithful and those who know the truth may eat with thanksgiving.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is reprehensible, if accepted with thanksgiving,
5 Because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6th Bringing these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and the good doctrine to which you have followed.
7th Unfavorable and feminine fables turn away, and exercise yourself in piety,
8 For bodily exercise is of little use, and godliness is profitable for all, having the promise of a life of the present and the future.
9 This word is true and all acceptance is worthy.
10 For we labor for that and reproach, that we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of the faithful.
eleven Preach this and teach.
12 Let no man despise thy youth; But be an example for the faithful in word, in life, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Until I come, practice reading, teaching, teaching.
14 Do not neglect the gift of the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the priesthood.
15 Take care of this, stay here, so that your success for all is obvious.
16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine; Do this constantly: for by doing so, you will save yourself and those who listen to you.
