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
Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,
in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
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.
prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis, qui cognoverunt veritatem.
4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;
Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil reiiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:
5 for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].
sanctificatur enim per Verbum Dei, et orationem.
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.
Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Iesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.
7 But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;
Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
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.
Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.
9 The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
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.
In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
11 Enjoin and teach these things.
Præcipe hæc, et doce.
12 Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in charitate, in fide, in castitate.
13 Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.
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.
Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
15 Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
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.
Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
