New American Standard Bible 1995

Apostasy

1But 1the SpiritG4151 explicitlyG4490 saysG3004 that 2in laterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 will 3fallG868 awayG868 from the faithG4102, payingG4337 attentionG4337 to 4deceitfulG4108 spiritsG4151 and 5doctrinesG1319 of demonsG1140, 2by meansG1722 of the hypocrisyG5272 of liarsG5573 6searedG2741 in their ownG2398 conscienceG4893 as with a brandingG2741 ironG2741, 3men who 7forbidG2967 marriageG1060 and advocate 8abstainingG568 from foodsG1033 whichG3739 9GodG2316 has createdG2936 to be 10gratefullyG3326G2169 sharedG3336 in by thoseG3588 who believeG4103 and knowG1921 the truthG225. 4For 11everythingG3956 createdG2938 by GodG2316 is goodG2570, and nothingG3762 is to be rejectedG579 if it is 12receivedG2983 with gratitudeG2169; 5for it is sanctifiedG37 by meansG1223 of 13the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and prayerG1783.

A Good Minister’s Discipline

6In pointingG5294 out theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 14the brethrenG80, you will be a goodG2570 15servantG1249 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, constantly nourishedG1789 on the wordsG3056 of the faithG4102 and of the 1617soundG2570 doctrineG1319 whichG3739 you 18have been followingG3877. 7But 19haveG3868 nothingG3868 to doG3868 with 20worldlyG952 21fablesG3454 fitG1126 onlyG1126 for oldG1126 womenG1126. On the otherG1161 handG1161, disciplineG1128 yourselfG4572 for the purpose of 22godlinessG2150; 8for 23bodilyG4984 disciplineG1129 is only of littleG3641 profitG5624, but 24godlinessG2150 is profitableG5624 for allG3956 thingsG3956, since it 25holdsG2192 promiseG1860 for the 26presentG3568 lifeG2222 and also for the life to comeG3195. 927It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056 deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594. 10For it is for thisG3778 we laborG2872 and striveG75, becauseG3754 we have fixedG1679 28our hopeG1679 on 29the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 is 30the SaviorG4990 of allG3956 menG444, especiallyG3122 of believersG4103.

113132PrescribeG3853 and teachG1321 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 1233Let noG3367 oneG3367 lookG2706 downG2706 on your youthfulnessG3503, but rather in speechG3056, conductG391, 34loveG26, faithG4102 and purityG47, showG1096 yourself 35an exampleG5179 36of thoseG3588 who believeG4103. 1337UntilG2193 I comeG2064, giveG4337 attentionG4337 to the public 38readingG320 of Scripture, to exhortationG3874 and teachingG1319. 14Do not neglectG272 the spiritualG5486 giftG5486 withinG1722 you, whichG3739 was bestowedG1325 on you throughG1223 39propheticG4394 utteranceG4394 with 40the layingG1936 on of handsG5495 by the 4142presbyteryG4244. 15TakeG3191 painsG3191 with theseG3778 thingsG3778; be absorbed in them, soG2443 that your progressG4297 will be evidentG5318 to allG3956. 1643PayG1907 closeG1907 attentionG1907 to yourselfG4572 and to your teachingG1319; persevereG1961 in theseG846 thingsG846, for as you doG4160 thisG3778 you will 4445ensureG4982 salvationG4982 bothG2532 for yourselfG4572 and for thoseG3588 who hearG191 you.
