¹ But the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, cleaving to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,² in lying speakers in hypocrisy, being seared in their own conscience,³ forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thanksgiving by the believers and those knowing the truth.⁴ Because every creature of God is good, and nothing to be thrust away, but having been received with thanksgiving;⁵ for through God's Word and supplication it is sanctified.

⁶ Having suggested these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, having been nourished by the Words of faith, and by the good doctrine which you have followed.⁷ But refuse the profane and old-womanish tales. And exercise yourself to godliness.⁸ For bodily exercise is profitable to a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life now, and of that coming.⁹ Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance;¹⁰ for to this we also labor and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Savior of all men, especially of believers.¹¹ Enjoin and teach these things.¹² Let no one despise your youth, but become an example of the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.¹³ Until I come, attend to reading, to exhortation to the doctrine.¹⁴ Do not be neglectful of the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the elderhood.¹⁵ Give care to these things; be in these things in order that your progress may be plain in all.¹⁶ Give attention to yourself and to the doctrine; continue in them, for doing this, you will both deliver yourself and those hearing you.
