1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,
το δε πνευμα ρητως λεγει οτι εν υστεροις καιροις αποστησονται τινες της πιστεως προσεχοντες πνευμασιν πλανοις και διδασκαλιαις δαιμονιων
2 Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;
εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων κεκαυτηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν
3 Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
κωλυοντων γαμειν απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεος εκτισεν εις μεταληψιν μετα ευχαριστιας τοις πιστοις και επεγνωκοσι την αληθειαν
4 Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:
οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιας λαμβανομενον
5 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεως
6 If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις καλος εση διακονος ιησου χριστου εντρεφομενος τοις λογοις της πιστεως και της καλης διδασκαλιας η παρηκολουθηκας
7 But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:
τους δε βεβηλους και γραωδεις μυθους παραιτου γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προς ευσεβειαν
8 For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
η γαρ σωματικη γυμνασια προς ολιγον εστιν ωφελιμος η δε ευσεβεια προς παντα ωφελιμος εστιν επαγγελιας εχουσα ζωης της νυν και της μελλουσης
9 This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.
πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος
10 And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.
εις τουτο γαρ και κοπιωμεν και ονειδιζομεθα οτι ηλπικαμεν επι θεω ζωντι ος εστιν σωτηρ παντων ανθρωπων μαλιστα πιστων
11 Let these be your orders and your teaching.
παραγγελλε ταυτα και διδασκε
12 Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.
μηδεις σου της νεοτητος καταφρονειτω αλλα τυπος γινου των πιστων εν λογω εν αναστροφη εν αγαπη εν πνευματι εν πιστει εν αγνεια
13 Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.
εως ερχομαι προσεχε τη αναγνωσει τη παρακλησει τη διδασκαλια
14 Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
μη αμελει του εν σοι χαρισματος ο εδοθη σοι δια προφητειας μετα επιθεσεως των χειρων του πρεσβυτεριου
15 Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.
ταυτα μελετα εν τουτοις ισθι ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η εν πασιν
16 Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.
επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια επιμενε αυτοις τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεις και τους ακουοντας σου
