1 Timothy, Chapter 4

¹ But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will^a I.e. apostacizefall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, ² by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, ³ men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; ⁵ for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.	1 Joh 16:13 Act 20:23 Act 21:11 Co1 2:10 Th2 2:3 Ti2 3:1 Pe2 3:3 Jud 1:18 Jo1 4:6 Jam 3:15 2 Eph 4:19 3 Heb 13:4 Col 2:16 Col 2:23 Gen 1:29 Gen 9:3 Rom 14:6 Co1 10:30 Ti1 4:4 4 Co1 10:26 Rom 14:6 Co1 10:30 Ti1 4:3 5 Gen 1:25 Gen 1:31 Heb 11:3
⁶ In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the^b Lit goodsound doctrine which you have been following. ⁷ But^c Or rejecthave nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; ⁸ for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. ⁹ It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. ¹⁰ For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.	6 Act 1:15 Co2 11:23 Ti1 1:10 Luk 1:3 Php 2:20 Php 2:22 Ti2 3:10 7 Ti1 1:9 Ti1 1:4 Ti1 4:8 Ti1 6:3 Ti1 6:5 Ti2 3:5 8 Col 2:23 Ti1 4:7 Ti1 6:3 Ti1 6:5 Ti2 3:5 Psa 37:9 Psa 37:11 Pro 19:23 Pro 22:4 Mat 6:33 Mat 6:33 Mat 12:32 Mar 10:30 9 Ti1 1:15 10 Co2 1:10 Ti1 6:17 Ti1 3:15 Joh 4:42 Ti1 2:4
¹¹ ^d Or Keep commanding and teachingPrescribe and teach these things. ¹² Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example^e Or toof those who believe. ¹³ Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. ¹⁴ Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the^f Or board of elderspresbytery. ¹⁵ Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. ¹⁶ Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will^g Lit save both yourself and thoseensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.	11 Ti1 5:7 Ti1 6:2 12 Co1 16:11 Tit 2:15 Tit 2:7 Pe1 5:3 Ti1 1:14 13 Ti1 3:14 Ti2 3:15 14 Ti1 1:18 Act 6:6 Ti1 5:22 Ti2 1:6 Act 11:30 16 Act 20:28 Co1 1:21
