1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and 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 speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,
These, with a false appearance, will deceive, speaking a lie, and seared in their conscience,
3 forbidding to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful 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 creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;
because every creature of Aloha is good, and nothing to be abominated, if with thanksgiving it be received;
5 for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].
for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.
6 Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.
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 profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;
But from the foolish stories of old women abstain; and exercise thy soul in righteousness.
8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that 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 The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
FAITHFUL is the saying and worthy is it of reception:
10 for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that 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 Enjoin and teach these things.
These teach and command.
12 Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, 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 Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
Till I come be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching.
14 Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee with prophecy, and the hand-laying of the presbytery.
15 Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
In these meditate, and in them be, that it may be known to every man that thou goest onward.
16 Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.
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.
