1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in latter days there will be some who will fall away from the faith, by listening to spirits of error, and to teachings of demons
το δε πνευμα ρητως λεγει οτι εν υστεροις καιροις αποστησονται τινες της πιστεως προσεχοντες πνευμασιν πλανοις και διδασκαλιαις δαιμονιων
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,
εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων κεκαυτηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν
3 who discourage marriage, and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thankfulness, by those who believe, and have a clear knowledge of the truth.
κωλυοντων γαμειν απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεος εκτισεν εις μεταληψιν μετα ευχαριστιας τοις πιστοις και επεγνωκοσιν την αληθειαν
4 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.
οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιας λαμβανομενον
5 For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεως
6 As you lay all these things before the brothers, you will be a noble minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing yourself in the precepts of the faith and that noble teaching which you have followed.
ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις καλος εση διακονος ιησου χριστου εντρεφομενος τοις λογοις της πιστεως και της καλης διδασκαλιας η παρηκολουθηκας
7 Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.
τους δε βεβηλους και γραωδεις μυθους παραιτου γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προς ευσεβειαν
8 For physical training is of some small service, but godliness is of service in everything; since it carries with it a promise of life, both here and hereafter.
η γαρ σωματικη γυμνασια προς ολιγον εστιν ωφελιμος η δε ευσεβεια προς παντα ωφελιμος εστιν επαγγελιαν εχουσα ζωης της νυν και της μελλουσης
9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος
10 "We toil and agonize because our hopes are set on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all men. - of believers in particular.
εις τουτο γαρ και κοπιωμεν και ονειδιζομεθα οτι ηλπικαμεν επι θεω ζωντι ος εστιν σωτηρ παντων ανθρωπων μαλιστα πιστων
11 Keep preaching and teaching these things.
παραγγελλε ταυτα και διδασκε
12 Let no one despise you on account of your youth, but become an example for the faithful in word, in life, 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 Be applying yourself until I come to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
εως ερχομαι προσεχε τη αναγνωσει τη παρακλησει τη διδασκαλια
14 Never neglect the gift within you, which was given in fulfilment of prophecy at the time of the laying on of hands by the elders.
μη αμελει του εν σοι χαρισματος ο εδοθη σοι δια προφητειας μετα επιθεσεως των χειρων του πρεσβυτεριου
15 Let these things be your care, give yourself wholly to them, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
ταυτα μελετα εν τουτοις ισθι ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η εν πασιν
16 Give heed to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.
επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια επιμενε αυτοις τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεις και τους ακουοντας σου
