1 Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

But the Spirit distinctly saith, that in the last times some will remove from the faith, and will go after deceiving spirits, and after doctrines of demons.

2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

These, with a false appearance, will deceive, speaking a lie, and seared in their conscience,

3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

and prohibiting to marry, and abstaining from meats, which Aloha created to be used with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth;

4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

because every creature of Aloha is good, and nothing to be abominated, if with thanksgiving it be received;

5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.

6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

These if thou shalt teach thy brethren, a good minister wilt thou be of Jeshu Meshiha, while thou wilt be enlarged with words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou hast learned.

7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.

But from the foolish stories of old women abstain; and exercise thy soul in righteousness.

8 For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.

For the exercise of the body a little time profiteth; but righteousness in every thing profiteth, and hath the promise of the life of this time, and of the future.

9 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.

FAITHFUL is the saying and worthy is it of reception:

10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

for on this account we labour and are reproached, because we hope in Aloha the Living, who is the Saviour of all men, and especially of the believers.

11 Command and teach these things.

These teach and command.

12 Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

And let no man despise thy youth; but be an example to the believers in word, and in conduct, and in charity, and in faith, and in purity.

13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Till I come be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching.

14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee with prophecy, and the hand-laying of the presbytery.

15 Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

In these meditate, and in them be, that it may be known to every man that thou goest onward.

16 Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

And take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine, and persevere in them; for while these thou doest, thyself wilt thou save, and them who hear thee.
