1 Timothy 4:1-5

1Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings,

2influenced by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared.

3They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4For every creation of God is good and no food is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

5For it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer.
