| Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, | Prediction of Apostasy 1Tm.4.1-5 | ||
| through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared, | |||
| who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. | |||
| For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving; | |||
| for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. | |||
| If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed. | A Good Minister of Jesus Christ 1Tm.4.6-16 | ||
| Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourself in godliness; | |||
| for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. | |||
| The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance. | |||
| For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe. | |||
| Command and teach these things. | |||
| Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. | |||
| Till I come, attend to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching. | |||
| Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you. | |||
| Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress. | |||
| Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers. | |||
