1 Timothy 4

1NowG1161 the SpiritG4151 speakethG3004 expresslyG4490, thatG3754 inG1722 the latterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 shall depart fromG868 the faithG3588G4102, giving heed toG4337 seducingG4108 spiritsG4151, andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of devilsG1140; 2Speaking liesG5573 inG1722 hypocrisyG5272; havingG2743 theirG2398 conscienceG4893 seared with a hot ironG2743; 3ForbiddingG2967 to marryG1060, and commanding to abstain fromG568 meatsG1033, whichG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath createdG2936 toG1519 be receivedG3336 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169 of them which believeG4103 andG2532 knowG1921 the truthG3588G225. 4ForG3754 everyG3956 creatureG2938 of GodG2316 is goodG2570, andG2532 nothingG3762 to be refusedG579, if it be receivedG2983 withG3326 thanksgivingG2169: 5ForG1063 it is sanctifiedG37 byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 prayerG1783. 6

If thou putG5294 the brethrenG3588G80 in remembrance ofG5294 these thingsG3778, thou shalt beG1510 a goodG2570 ministerG1249 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, nourished up inG1789 the wordsG3588G3056 of faithG3588G4102 andG2532 of goodG2570 doctrineG1319, whereuntoG3739 thou hast attainedG3877. 7ButG1161 refuseG3868 profaneG952 andG2532 old wives’G1126 fablesG3454, andG1161 exerciseG1128 thyselfG4572 rather untoG4314 godlinessG2150. 8ForG1063 bodilyG3588G4984 exerciseG1129 profitethG5624 littleG3641: butG1161 godlinessG3588G2150 isG1510 profitableG5624 untoG4314 all thingsG3956, havingG2192 promiseG1860 of the lifeG3588G2222 that now isG3568, andG2532 of that which is to comeG3588G3195. 9ThisG3588 is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056 andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594. 10ForG1063 thereforeG3778 weG2872 bothG2532 labourG2872 andG2532 suffer reproachG3679, becauseG3754 we trustG1679 inG1909 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 isG1510 the SaviourG4990 of allG3956 menG444, speciallyG3122 of those that believeG4103. 11These thingsG3778 commandG3853 andG2532 teachG1321. 12

LetG2706 no manG3367 despiseG2706 thyG4771 youthG3588G3503; butG235 be thouG1096 an exampleG5179 of the believersG4103, inG1722 wordG3056, inG1722 conversationG391, inG1722 charityG26, inG1722 spiritG4151, inG1722 faithG4102, inG1722 purityG47. 13TillG2193 I comeG2064, give attendanceG4337 to readingG3588G320, to exhortationG3588G3874, to doctrineG3588G1319. 14NeglectG272 notG3361 the giftG5486 that is inG1722 theeG4771, whichG3739 was givenG1325 theeG4771 byG1223 prophecyG4394, withG3326 the laying onG1936 of the handsG3588G5495 of the presbyteryG3588G4244. 15Meditate uponG3191 these thingsG3778; give thyself whollyG1510 toG1722 themG3778; thatG2443 thyG4771 profitingG3588G4297 mayG1510 appearG5318 toG1722 allG3956. 16Take heed untoG1907 thyselfG4572, andG2532 unto the doctrineG3588G1319; continue inG1961 themG846: forG1063 in doingG4160 thisG3778 thou shaltG4982 bothG2532 saveG4982 thyselfG4572, andG2532 them that hearG191 theeG4771.
