< 1 Timothy 4 >
1 Now the Spirit expressly saith, that in latter times some shall apostatize from the faith, attending to seducing spirits,
But the Rukha says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 and doctrines of demons founded in the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience, forbidding to marry,
through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
3 and enjoining abstinence from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by those that believe and know the truth.
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

6 If thou lay these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, as one brought up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.
If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Meshikha Yeshua, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 But profane and groundless fables reject, and exercise thyself unto godliness.
But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little, but piety is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come:
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
9 this is a certain truth and worthy of all acceptance.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 For to this end we both labour and suffer reproach, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

12 Let no one have cause to despise thy youth; but he thou an example to believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

16 Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this, thou wilt both save thyself and those that hear thee.
