1 Timothy 4

  1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 🔗
  2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 🔗
  3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 🔗
  4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 🔗
  5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 🔗
  6. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 🔗
  7. But refuse profane and old wives2019 fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 🔗
  8. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 🔗
  9. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 🔗
  10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 🔗
  11. These things command and teach. 🔗
  12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 🔗
  13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 🔗
  16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 🔗
