4 1 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, 4 2 through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared, 4 3 who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving; 4 5 for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
