1 Timothy 4:1-8 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later a times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
2
through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
3
They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving;
5
for it is sanctified by God's word and by prayer.
6
If you put these instructions before the brothers and sisters, b you will be a good servant c of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching that you have followed.
7
Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives' tales. Train yourself in godliness,
8
for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
