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

2 in hypocrisy of speakers of lies, seared [in their] own conscience,

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.

4 For every creature of God [is] good and no [thing is] to be rejected with thanksgiving being received;

5 it is sanctified for through [the] word of God and prayer.

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;

7 But profane and silly fables do refuse; do train rather yourself to godliness.

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.

9 Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy.

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.

11 do command these things and do teach.

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.

13 Until I come, do give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching,

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.

15 These things do ponder, in them do be absorbed, so that your progress evident may be (in *k*) all.

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.
