1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
το δε πνευμα ρητως λεγει οτι εν υστεροις καιροις αποστησονται τινες της πιστεως προσεχοντες πνευμασιν πλανοις και διδασκαλιαις δαιμονιων
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων κεκαυστηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
κωλυοντων γαμειν απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεος εκτισεν εις μεταλημψιν μετα ευχαριστιας τοις πιστοις και επεγνωκοσιν την αληθειαν
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιας λαμβανομενον
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεως
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις καλος εση διακονος χριστου ιησου εντρεφομενος τοις λογοις της πιστεως και της καλης διδασκαλιας η παρηκολουθηκας
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
τους δε βεβηλους και γραωδεις μυθους παραιτου γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προς ευσεβειαν
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
η γαρ σωματικη γυμνασια προς ολιγον εστιν ωφελιμος η δε ευσεβεια προς παντα ωφελιμος εστιν επαγγελιαν εχουσα ζωης της νυν και της μελλουσης
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
εις τουτο γαρ κοπιωμεν και αγωνιζομεθα οτι ηλπικαμεν επι θεω ζωντι ος εστιν σωτηρ παντων ανθρωπων μαλιστα πιστων
11 Command and teach these things.
παραγγελλε ταυτα και διδασκε
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
μηδεις σου της νεοτητος καταφρονειτω αλλα τυπος γινου των πιστων εν λογω εν αναστροφη εν αγαπη εν πιστει εν αγνεια
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
εως ερχομαι προσεχε τη αναγνωσει τη παρακλησει τη διδασκαλια
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
μη αμελει του εν σοι χαρισματος ο εδοθη σοι δια προφητειας μετα επιθεσεως των χειρων του πρεσβυτεριου
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
ταυτα μελετα εν τουτοις ισθι ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η πασιν
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια επιμενε αυτοις τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεις και τους ακουοντας σου
