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
Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis daemoniorum,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,
in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
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.
prohibentium nubere, et abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis, qui cognoverunt veritatem.
4 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.
Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil reiiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:
5 For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
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.
Haec proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Iesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonae doctrinae, quam assecutus es.
7 Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.
Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
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.
Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitae, quae nunc est, et futurae.
9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
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.
In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
11 Keep preaching and teaching these things.
Praecipe haec, et doce.
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.
Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in charitate, in fide, in castitate.
13 Be applying yourself until I come to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinae.
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.
Noli negligere gratiam, quae in te est, quae data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
15 Let these things be your care, give yourself wholly to them, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
Haec meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
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.
Attende tibi, et doctrinae: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
