1 Timothy 4

Now the Spirit says specifically that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,

in the hypocrisy of liars, having been seared {in} their own conscience, \*

forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods that God created for receiving with thanksgiving by {the ones} faithful and knowing the truth.

For every creation of God {is} good, and nothing being received with thanksgiving {is} to be rejected,

for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. \*

Placing these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished by the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

But reject the profane and old-womanish myths, but train yourself for godliness,

for bodily training is useful for little, but godliness is useful for all, having promise of life, now and coming. \*

The word {is} trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance.

For unto this we toil and struggle, that we have hoped in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. \*

Command and teach these things.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Until I come, attend to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching. \*

Do not neglect the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the council of elders.

Practice these things, be in these things, so that your progress may be apparent to all.

Pay attention to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them, for, doing this, you will save both yourself and the ones hearing you. \*
