1 Timothy 4:1-5

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

2 through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,

3 who forbid marriage and enjoin 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 if it is received with thanksgiving;

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

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

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.
