1 Timothy 4

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, listening to spirits of error and doctrines of demons;

2 that in hypocrisy shall speak lies; having their conscience seared as with a hot iron;

3 they shall forbid to marry and shall command <em>men</em> to abstain from foods, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who are faithful and have known the truth.

4 For everything that God created <em>is</em> good, and nothing <em>is</em> to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving,

5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 If thou put these things before the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, unto which thou hast attained.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself <em>rather</em> unto godliness.

8 For bodily exercise profits <em>a</em> little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

9 The Word <em>is</em> faithful and worthy of acceptation by all.

10 For this we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

11 Command and teach this.

12 Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Until I come, occupy thyself reading, exhorting, teaching.

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which is given unto thee to prophesy, through the laying on of the hands of the elders.

15 Occupy thyself in these things <em>with care</em>, for in this is <em>everything</em>, that thy profiting may be manifest unto all.

16 Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine; be diligent in this, for in doing so thou shalt both save thyself and those that hear thee.

New International Version NIV

1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.

10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things.

12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.

14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.

15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.

16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
