1 Timothy 4:1-7

1Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

2through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared.

3They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.

4For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

5since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

6If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the good teaching that you have followed.

7But have nothing to do with pointless and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness.
