World English Bible Classic
[1] But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, [2] through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, [3] forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. [5] For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. [6] If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed. [7] But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness. [8] For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come. [9] This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance. [10] For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. [11] Command and teach these things. [12] Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity. [13] Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching. [14] Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders. [15] Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all. [16] Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
King James Version

The Good Minister

[1] Now G1161 the G3588 Spirit G4151 speaketh G3004 expressly, G4490 that G3754 in G1722 the latter G5306 times G2540 some G5100 shall depart from G868 the G3588 faith, G4102 giving heed G4337 to seducing G4108 spirits, G4151 and G2532 doctrines G1319 of devils; G1140 [2] speaking lies G5573 in G1722 hypocrisy; G5272 having G2743 their G2398 conscience G4893 seared with a hot iron; G2743 [3] forbidding G2967 to marry, G1060 and commanding to abstain G567 from meats, G1033 which G3739 God G2316 hath created G2936 to G1519 be received G3336 with G3326 thanksgiving G2169 of them G3588 which believe G4103 and G2532 know G1921 the G3588 truth. G225 [4] For G3754 every G3956 creature G2938 of God G2316 is good, G2570 and G2532 nothing G3762 to be refused, G579 if it be received G2983 with G3326 thanksgiving: G2169 [5] for G1063 it is sanctified G37 by G1223 the word G3056 of God G2316 and G2532 prayer. G1783 [6] If thou put G5294 the G3588 brethren G80 in remembrance G5294 of these things, G5023 thou shalt be G2071 a good G2570 minister G1249 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 nourished up G1789 in the G3588 words G3056 of faith G4102 and G2532 of good G2570 doctrine, G1319 whereunto G3739 thou hast attained. G3877 [7] But G1161 refuse G3868 profane G952 and G2532 old wives’ G1126 fables, G3454 and G1161 exercise G1128 thyself G4572 rather unto G4314 godliness. G2150 [8] For G1063 bodily G4984 exercise G1129 profiteth G2076 G5624 little: G4314§ G3641 but G1161 godliness G2150 is G2076 profitable G5624 unto G4314 all things, G3956 having G2192 promise G1860 of the life G2222 that G3588 now G3568 is, and G2532 of that G3588 which is to come. G3195 [9] This G3588 is a faithful G4103 saying G3056 and G2532 worthy G514 of all G3956 acceptation. G594 [10] For G1063 therefore G1519 G5124 we G2872 both G2532 labour G2872 and G2532 suffer reproach, G3679 because G3754 we trust G1679 in G1909 the living G2198 God, G2316 who G3739 is G2076 the Saviour G4990 of all G3956 men, G444 specially G3122 of those that believe. G4103 [11] These things G5023 command G3853 and G2532 teach. G1321 [12] Let G2706 no man G3367 despise G2706 thy G4675 youth; G3503 but G235 be thou G1096 an example G5179 of the G3588 believers, G4103 in G1722 word, G3056 in G1722 conversation, G391 in G1722 charity, G26 in G1722 spirit, G4151 in G1722 faith, G4102 in G1722 purity. G47 [13] Till G2193 I come, G2064 give attendance G4337 to reading, G320 to exhortation, G3874 to doctrine. G1319 [14] Neglect G272 not G3361 the G3588 gift G5486 that is in G1722 thee, G4671 which G3739 was given G1325 thee G4671 by G1223 prophecy, G4394 with G3326 the laying on G1936 of the G3588 hands G5495 of the G3588 presbytery. G4244 [15] Meditate upon G3191 these things; G5023 give thyself G2468 wholly to G1722 them; G5125 that G2443 thy G4675 profiting G4297 may G5600 appear G5318 to G1722 all. G3956§ [16] Take heed G1907 unto thyself, G4572 and G2532 unto the G3588 doctrine; G1319 continue G1961 in them: G846 for G1063 in doing G4160 this G5124 thou shalt G4982 both G2532 save G4982 thyself, G4572 and G2532 them G3588 that hear G191 thee. G4675

[1] Τὸ G3588 δὲ G1161 πνεῦμα G4151 ῥητῶς G4490 λέγει, G3004 ὅτι G3754 ἐν G1722 ὑστέροις G5306 καιροῖς G2540 ἀποστήσονταί G868 τινες G5100 τῆς G3588 πίστεως, G4102 προσέχοντες G4337 πνεύμασιν G4151 πλάνοις G4108 καὶ G2532 διδασκαλίαις G1319 δαιμονίων, G1140 [2] ἐν G1722 ὑποκρίσει G5272 ψευδολόγων, G5573 ‡κεκαυτηριασμένων G2743 τὴν G3588 ἰδίαν G2398 συνείδησιν, G4893 [3] κωλυόντων G2967 γαμεῖν, G1060 ἀπέχεσθαι G567 βρωμάτων, G1033 ἃ G3739 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 ἔκτισεν G2936 εἰς G1519 ‡μετάληψιν G3336 μετὰ G3326 εὐχαριστίας G2169 τοῖς G3588 πιστοῖς G4103 καὶ G2532 ἐπεγνωκόσιν G1921 τὴν G3588 ἀλήθειαν.
