1 Timothy 4

Abandonment of Faith

1But 1the SpiritG4151 explicitlyG4490 saysG3004 that 2in laterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 will 3fallG868 awayG868 from the faithG4102, payingG4337 attentionG4337 to 4deceitfulG4108 spiritsG4151 and 5teachingsG1319 of demonsG1140, 2by meansG1722 of the hypocrisyG5272 of liarsG5573 6searedG2741 in their ownG2398 conscienceG4893 as withG2741 aG2741 brandingG2741 ironG2741, 3who 7forbidG2967 marriageG1060 and advocate 8abstainingG568 from foodsG1033 whichG3739 9GodG2316 has createdG2936 to be 10gratefullyG3326G2169 sharedG3336 inG3336 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 outG5294 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 14the brothersG80 and sisters, you will be a goodG2570 15servantG1249 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, constantly nourishedG1789 onG1789 the wordsG3056 of the faithG4102 and of the 16goodG2570 doctrineG1319 whichG3739 you 17have been followingG3877. 7But 18stayG3868 awayG3868 fromG3868 19worthlessG952 20storiesG3454 that are typicalG1126 ofG1126 oldG1126 womenG1126. RatherG1161, 21disciplineG1128 yourselfG4572 for the purposeG4314 of 22godlinessG2150; 8for 23bodilyG4984 trainingG1129 is just slightlyG4314G3641 beneficialG5624, but 24godlinessG2150 is beneficialG5624 for allG3956 thingsG3956, since it 25holdsG2192 promiseG1860 for the 26presentG3568 lifeG2222 and also for the life toG3195 comeG3195. 927It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056 deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594. 10For it is for thisG3778 we laborG2872 and striveG75, becauseG3754 we have setG1679 28our hopeG1679 on 29the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 is 30the SaviorG4990 of allG3956 mankindG444, especiallyG3122 of believersG4103.

113132PrescribeG3853 and teachG1321 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 1233Let noG3367 oneG3367 lookG2706 downG2706 onG2706 your youthfulnessG3503, but rather in speechG3056, conductG391, 34loveG26, faithG4102, and purityG47, showG1096 yourself 35an exampleG5179 36of thoseG3588 who believeG4103. 1337UntilG2193 I comeG2064, giveG4337 your attentionG4337 to the public 3839readingG320, to exhortationG3874, and teachingG1319. 14Do not neglectG272 the spiritualG5486 giftG5486 withinG1722 you, whichG3739 was grantedG1325 to you throughG1223 words of 40prophecyG4394 with 41the layingG1936 onG1936 of handsG5495 by the 4243councilG4244 ofG4244 eldersG4244. 15TakeG3191 painsG3191 with theseG3778 thingsG3778; be absorbed in them, soG2443 thatG2443 your progressG4297 will be evidentG5318 to allG3956. 1644PayG1907 closeG1907 attentionG1907 to yourselfG4572 and to the teachingG1319; persevereG1961 in theseG846 thingsG846, for as you doG4160 thisG3778 you will 45saveG4982 bothG2532 yourselfG4572 and thoseG3588 who hearG191 you.
