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 labor and [suffer reproach,] because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially 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.
