ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ NOW the Spirit says expressly, that in after-times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and teachings of demons; ² of those who speak lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron; ³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from food, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. ⁶ If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nurtured in the words of the faith and of the good teaching, which thou hast strictly followed. ⁷ But the profane and silly fables avoid, and exercise thyself unto godliness. ⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable for little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. ⁹ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance. ¹⁰ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. ¹¹ These things command and teach. ¹² Let no one despise thy youth; but become an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in love, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. ¹⁴ Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. ¹⁵ Meditate on these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest to all. ¹⁶ Give heed to thyself, and to the teaching; continue in them; for in doing this thou wilt save both thyself, and those who hear thee.
