TI1 4-1 | Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; |
TI1 4-2 | Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; |
TI1 4-3 | Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. |
TI1 4-4 | For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: |
TI1 4-5 | For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. |
TI1 4-6 | If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. |
TI1 4-7 | But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. |
TI1 4-8 | For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. |
TI1 4-9 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. |
TI1 4-10 | For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. |
TI1 4-11 | These things command and teach. |
TI1 4-12 | Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. |
TI1 4-13 | Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. |
TI1 4-14 | Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. |
TI1 4-15 | Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. |
TI1 4-16 | Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. |
