1 Timothy 4 (WEBP)

[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.

1 Timothy 4 (KJVS)

[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;
[2] speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; ()
[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.
[4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received () with thanksgiving:
[5] for it is sanctified () by the word of God and prayer.
[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. ()
[7] But refuse () profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise () thyself rather unto godliness.
[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. ()
[9] This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
[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.
[11] These things command () and teach. ()
[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.
[13] Till I come, () give attendance () to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
[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.
[15] Meditate upon () these things; give thyself () wholly to them; that thy profiting may () appear to all.
[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.
