1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
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, and having their conscience seared,
These, with a false appearance, will deceive, speaking a lie, and seared in their conscience,
3 Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known 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 to be rejected that is 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 the word of God and prayer.
for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.
6 These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.
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 avoid foolish and old wives’ fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.
But from the foolish stories of old women abstain; and exercise thy soul in righteousness.
8 For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is 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 A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
FAITHFUL is the saying and worthy is it of reception:
10 For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
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 These things command and teach.
These teach and command.
12 Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
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, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
Till I come be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching.
14 Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee with prophecy, and the hand-laying of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting 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 Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them 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.
