1 Timothy 4:1-8

Some Will Fall Away

But ^athe Spirit explicitly says that ^bin later times some will ¹fall away from the faith, paying attention to ^cdeceitful spirits and ^ddoctrines of demons, 2 by the hypocrisy of liars, who have been ^aseared in their own conscience, 3 who ^aforbid marriage and advocate ^babstaining from foods which ^cGod created to be shared in ^dwith thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For ^aeverything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is ^breceived with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified by ^athe word of God and prayer.

A Good Minister’s Discipline

6 In pointing out these things to ^athe brothers, you will be a good ^bservant of Christ Jesus, being nourished on the words of the faith and of the ¹^csound doctrine which you ^dhave been following. 7 But refuse ^agodless ^bmyths fit only for old women. On the other hand, train yourself for the purpose of ^cgodliness, 8 for ^abodily training is only of little profit, but ^bgodliness is profitable for all things, since it ^cholds promise for the ^dpresent life and also for the life to come.
