1 The but spirit expressly says, that in subsequent seasons will fall away some from the faith, adhering to spirits wandering and to teachings of demons,
2 by hypocrisy of falsespeakers, having been cauterized the own conscience,
3 forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which the God created for a partaking of with thanksgiving by the faithful ones and they have known the truth.
4 Because every creature of God good, and nothing cast away, with thanksgiving being received;
5 it is sanctified for through a word of God and of prayer.
6 These things setting forth to the brethren, good thou wilt be a servant of Jesus Anointed, being nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teachings, which thou hast closely followed.
7 The but profane and old women fables do thou avoid; discipline but thyself for piety.
8 The for bodily discipline for a little it is profitable; the but piety for all things profitable it is, a promise having of life of the now and of that about coming.
9 True the word and of all acceptance worthy.
10 In order of this and we toil and are reproached, because we have hoped in God living, who is a preserver of all men, especially of believers.
11 Do thou enjoin these things and do thou teach.
12 No one thee the youth let despise, but a pattern become thou of the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, attend thou to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching.
14 Not be thou neglectful of the in thee endowment, which was given to thee through prophecy, with laying on the hands of the eldership.
15 These things do thou care for, in these things be thou; so that of thee the progress manifest may be in all things.
16 Attend thou to thyself, and to the teaching; continue thou in them; this for doing, both thyself thou wilt save and those hearing thee.
1 The Spirit explicitly says that some will fall away from the faith truth in later times. Spirits and doctrines of demons will seduce them,
2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron.
3 They will forbid marrying, and command to abstain from food, 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 This is because it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 If you tell the brothers about these things, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed until now.
7 Refuse false stories and old wives' fables. Train yourself with godliness in mind.
8 Bodily exercise is profitable for a little. However, godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of the life that is to come.
9 Faithful and worthy of full acceptance is the statement.
10 This is why we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on 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 look down on your youth. Be an example to the believers in speech and conduct, in love, in faith and chasteness.
13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift in you. It was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Be diligent and think about these things. Give yourself wholly to them. That way your progress may be apparent to all.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things. When you do this you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
