1 Timothy 4

1
Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith--that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of
demons--

2
in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, of demons cauterised in their own conscience,--

3
Forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;

4
Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received,--

5
For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,

6
These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble
teaching which thou hast closely studied.

7
But, from the profane and old-wives stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;

8
For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable,--having, promise, of life--the present and the coming.

9
Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;

10
For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men--specially, of such as believe.

11
Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching:--

12
Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful,--in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.

13
While I am coming, be giving heed--to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:

14
Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.

15
These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:

16
Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching,--abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
