Some Will Depart from the Faith
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.
who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it.
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.
Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.
Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.
Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.
