1 Timothy 4:1-8

1Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

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

6If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

7But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

8For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
