1 Timothy  


4 : 1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
4 : 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,
4 : 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
4 : 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;
4 : 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.
4 : 6 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.
4 : 7 But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;
4 : 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
4 : 9 It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.

4 : 12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
4 : 13 Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.
4 : 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
4 : 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
4 : 16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
