1Now1161 the Spirit4151 speaketh3004 expressly4490, that3754 in1722 the latter5306 times2540 some5100 shall depart from868 the faith4102, giving heed4337 to seducing4108 spirits4151, and2532 doctrines1319 of devils1140;
2Speaking lies5573 in1722 hypocrisy5272; having2743 their2398 conscience4893 seared with a hot iron2743;
3Forbidding2967 to marry1060, and commanding to abstain from567 meats1033, which3739 God2316 hath created2936 to1519 be received3336 with3326 thanksgiving2169 of them which believe4103 and2532 know1921 the truth225.
4For3754 every3956 creature2938 of God2316 is good2570, and2532 nothing3762 to be refused579, if it be received2983 with3326 thanksgiving2169:
5For1063 it is sanctified37 by1223 the word3056 of God2316 and2532 prayer1783.
6If thou put5294 the brethren80 in remembrance5294 of these things5023, thou shalt be2071 a good2570 minister1249 of Jesus2424 Christ5547, nourished up1789 in the words3056 of faith4102 and2532 of good2570 doctrine1319, whereunto3739 thou hast attained3877.
7But1161 refuse3868 profane952 and2532 old wives'1126 fables3454, and1161 exercise1128 thyself4572 rather unto4314 godliness2150.
8For1063 bodily4984 exercise1129 profiteth2076 5624 little4314 3641: but1161 godliness2150 is2076 profitable5624 unto4314 all things3956, having2192 promise1860 of the life2222 that now is3568, and2532 of that which is to come3195.
9This is a faithful4103 saying3056 and2532 worthy514 of all3956 acceptation594.
10For1063 therefore1519 5124 we2872 both2532 labour2872 and2532 suffer reproach3679, because3754 we trust1679 in1909 the living2198 God2316, who3739 is2076 the Saviour4990 of all3956 men444, specially3122 of those that believe4103.
11These things5023 command3853 and2532 teach1321.
12Let2706 no man3367 despise2706 thy4675 youth3503; but235 be thou1096 an example5179 of the believers4103, in1722 word3056, in1722 conversation391, in1722 charity26, in1722 spirit4151, in1722 faith4102, in1722 purity47.
13Till2193 I come2064, give attendance4337 to reading320, to exhortation3874, to doctrine1319.
14Neglect272 not3361 the gift5486 that is in1722 thee4671, which3739 was given1325 thee4671 by1223 prophecy4394, with3326 the laying on1936 of the hands5495 of the presbytery4244.
15Meditate upon3191 these things5023; give thyself2468 wholly to1722 them5125; that2443 thy4675 profiting4297 may5600 appear5318 to1722 all3956.
16Take heed1907 unto thyself4572, and2532 unto the doctrine1319; continue1961 in them846: for1063 in doing4160 this5124 thou shalt4982 both2532 save4982 thyself4572, and2532 them that hear191 thee4675.
