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,
το δε πνευμα ρητως λεγει οτι εν υστεροις καιροις αποστησονται τινες της πιστεως προσεχοντες πνευμασιν πλανοις και διδασκαλιαις δαιμονιων
2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων κεκαυτηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν
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.
κωλυοντων γαμειν απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεος εκτισεν εις μεταληψιν μετα ευχαριστιας τοις πιστοις και επεγνωκοσιν την αληθειαν
4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,
οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιας λαμβανομενον
5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεως
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.
ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις καλος εση διακονος ιησου χριστου εντρεφομενος τοις λογοις της πιστεως και της καλης διδασκαλιας η παρηκολουθηκας
7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
τους δε βεβηλους και γραωδεις μυθους παραιτου γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προς ευσεβειαν
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.
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 is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.
πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος
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.
εις τουτο γαρ και κοπιωμεν και ονειδιζομεθα 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 one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
μηδεις σου της νεοτητος καταφρονειτω αλλα τυπος γινου των πιστων εν λογω εν αναστροφη εν αγαπη εν πνευματι εν πιστει εν αγνεια
13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, 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 you through the prophecy spoken over you at 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 matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
ταυτα μελετα εν τουτοις ισθι ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η εν πασιν
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.
επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια επιμενε αυτοις τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεις και τους ακουοντας σου
