1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,
2 through the pretensions of liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,
3 They forbid people to get married and require them to avoid [eating] certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and [fully] know the truth.
4 For everything God created is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 because it is consecrated through the word of God and prayer.
6 Suggesting these things to the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching which you have strictly followed;
7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself in godliness.
8 Now physical exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, holding promises for both this present life and the one to come.
9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves complete acceptance.
10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach these things.
12 Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for other believers in your speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and purity.
13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you through prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands on you.
15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that all may see your progress.
16 Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in them, for if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
