1 Timothy 4 📜 📕 ↷
A Warning against Apostasy
1 AND the Spirit manifestly saith that in the last times certain shall depart from the faith attending to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,📜💬📚
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,📜💬📚
3 forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats which God created to receive with thanks-giving for the faithful, and them that have known the truth.📜💬📚
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanks-giving.📜💬📚
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.📜💬📚
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ JESUS, nourished in the words of the faith and the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.📜💬📚
7 But foolish and old wives' fables avoid: and exercise thy self to piety.📜💬📚
8 For corporal exercise is profitable to little: but piety is profitable to all things: having promise of the life that now is, and of that to come.📜💬📚
9 A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation:📜💬📚
10 For to this purpose we labour and are reviled, because we hope in the living God which is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.📜💬📚
11 Command these things and teach.📜💬📚
12 Let no man contemn thy youth: but be an example of the faithful, in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.📜💬📚
13 Till I come, attend unto reading, exhortation, doctrine.📜💬📚
14 Neglect not the grace that is in thee: which is given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of priesthood.📜💬📚
15 These things do thou mediate, be in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.📜💬📚
16 Attend to thyself, and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For, this doing, thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.📜💬📚
