1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit expressly states that in later times will depart from some from the faith giving heed to spirits deceitful and to teachings of demons
Τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ῥητῶς λέγει ὅτι ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως, προσέχοντες πνεύμασι πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων
2 in hypocrisy of speakers of lies, seared [in their] own conscience,
ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων, κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν,
3 forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and by [those] already knowing the truth.
κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων ἃ ὁ θεὸς ἔκτισεν εἰς μετάλημψιν μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
4 For every creature of God [is] good and no [thing is] to be rejected with thanksgiving being received;
ὅτι πᾶν κτίσμα θεοῦ καλόν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον,
5 it is sanctified for through [the] word of God and prayer.
ἁγιάζεται γὰρ διὰ λόγου θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως.
6 These things laying before the brothers good you will be a servant of Christ Jesus being nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have closely followed;
Ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καλὸς ἔσῃ διάκονος ⸂Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας,
7 But profane and silly fables do refuse; do train rather yourself to godliness.
τοὺς δὲ βεβήλους καὶ γραώδεις μύθους παραιτοῦ. γύμναζε δὲ σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν·
8 For bodily exercise of a little is profit, but godliness for everything profitable is [the] promise holding of life of the present and which is coming.
ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος, ἡ δὲ εὐσέβεια πρὸς πάντα ὠφέλιμός ἐστιν, ἐπαγγελίαν ἔχουσα ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καὶ τῆς μελλούσης.
9 Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy.
πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος,
10 Towards this for (also *k*) we toil and (strive, *N(K)O*) because we have hope on God [the] living, who is [the] Savior of all men especially of believers.
εἰς τοῦτο ⸀γὰρκοπιῶμεν καὶ ⸀ὀνειδιζόμεθα ὅτι ἠλπίκαμεν ἐπὶ θεῷ ζῶντι, ὅς ἐστιν σωτὴρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων, μάλιστα πιστῶν.
11 do command these things and do teach.
Παράγγελλε ταῦτα καὶ δίδασκε.
12 no one your youth should despise, but a pattern do be for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love (in spirit *K*) in faith, in purity.
μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ⸀ἀγάπῃ ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ.
13 Until I come, do give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching,
ἕως ἔρχομαι πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ.
14 Not do be negligent of the in you gift which was given to you through prophecy with [the] laying on of the hands of the elderhood.
μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος, ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου.
15 These things do ponder, in them do be absorbed, so that your progress evident may be (in *k*) all.
ταῦτα μελέτα, ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι, ἵνα σου ἡ προκοπὴ φανερὰ ⸀ᾖπᾶσιν·
16 do give heed to yourself and to the teaching; do continue in them; this for doing both yourself you will save and those hearing you.
ἔπεχε σεαυτῷ καὶ τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ· ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου.
