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
2 Ozizi dị otu a na-esite nʼihu abụọ nke ndị ụgha, bụ ndị eji igwe ọkụ da nwụọ akọnuche ha.
speaking lies in hypocrisy. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,

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.
4 Ihe niile Chineke kere dị mma, ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọbụla a ga-ajụ ma ọ bụrụ na e jiri ekele nara ya,
For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.
5 nʼihi na-esitere nʼokwu Chineke na ekpere doo ya nsọ.
For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
6 Ọ bụrụ na ị mee ka ụmụnna mara ihe ndị a, ị ga-abụ ezi onyeozi Kraịst Jisọs, onye a zụlitere nke ọma site nʼeziokwu nke okwukwe, na ezi ozizi nke ị gbasoro.
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.
7 Atụfula oge gị nʼịrụ ụka rụrụ arụ banyere akụkọ ifo nzuzu, na akụkọ na-abaghị uru nke ndị agadi nwanyị na-akọ. Kama zụọ onwe gị ka ị bụrụ onye nke na-asọpụrụ Chineke.
Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.
8 Igwuri egwu nke anụ ahụ dị mma kama ịbụ onye nke Chineke bara uru karịa nʼụzọ ọbụla, nʼihi na nkwa dị nʼime ya bụ banyere ndụ dị ugbu a na ndụ dị nʼihu.
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.
9 Okwu a kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, kwesikwa ka a nara ya nke ọma.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
10 Anyị na-adọgbu onwe anyị nʼọrụ na-ahụjukwa anya maka na anyị tụkwasịrị olileanya anyị na Chineke dị ndụ, onye bụ Onye nzọpụta mmadụ niile, karịchasịa, nke ndị niile kwere ekwe.

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.
13 Tutu ruo mgbe m ga-abịa nʼebe ahụ, na-agụpụta ma na-akọwakwara ndị chọọchị ihe e dere nʼime akwụkwọ nsọ. Na-ekwusakwa okwu Chineke.
Be applying yourself until I come to public reading, preaching, and teaching.

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.
15 Jiri onyinye ndị a niile rụọ ọrụ, nọgidesie ike nʼọrụ gị, ka onye ọbụla mata, hụkwa na ị na-eme nke ọma.
Let these things be your care, give yourself wholly to them, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
16 Na-elezi anya na ndụ gị, na ozizi gị. Nọgidesie ike nʼihe ndị a nʼihi na site na ha, ị ga-azọpụta onwe gị, zọpụtakwa ndị na-ege gị ntị.
Give heed to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.
