New Century Version NCV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Now the Holy Spirit clearly says that in the later times some people will stop believing the faith. They will follow spirits that lie and teachings of demons.
1
Spiritus autem manifeste dicit quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide adtendentes spiritibus erroris et doctrinis daemoniorum
2 Such teachings come from the false words of liars whose consciences are destroyed as if by a hot iron.
2
in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam
3 They forbid people to marry and tell them not to eat certain foods which God created to be eaten with thanks by people who believe and know the truth.
3
prohibentium nubere abstinere a cibis quos Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus et his qui cognoverunt veritatem
4 Everything God made is good, and nothing should be refused if it is accepted with thanks,
4
quia omnis creatura Dei bona et nihil reiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur
5 because it is made holy by what God has said and by prayer.
5
sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei et orationem
6 By telling these things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus. You will be made strong by the words of the faith and the good teaching which you have been following.
6
haec proponens fratribus bonus eris minister Christi Iesu enutritus verbis fidei et bonae doctrinae quam adsecutus es
7 But do not follow foolish stories that disagree with God's truth, but train yourself to serve God.
7
ineptas autem et aniles fabulas devita exerce te ipsum ad pietatem
8 Training your body helps you in some ways, but serving God helps you in every way by bringing you blessings in this life and in the future life, too.
8
nam corporalis exercitatio ad modicum utilis est pietas autem ad omnia utilis est promissionem habens vitae quae nunc est et futurae
9 What I say is true, and you should fully accept it.
9
fidelis sermo et omni acceptione dignus
10 This is why we work and struggle: We hope in the living God who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
10
in hoc enim laboramus et maledicimur quia speravimus in Deum vivum qui est salvator omnium hominum maxime fidelium
11 Command and teach these things.
11
praecipe haec et doce
12 Do not let anyone treat you as if you are unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life.
12
nemo adulescentiam tuam contemnat sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo in conversatione in caritate in fide in castitate
13 Until I come, continue to read the Scriptures to the people, strengthen them, and teach them.
13
dum venio adtende lectioni exhortationi doctrinae
14 Use the gift you have, which was given to you through prophecy when the group of elders laid their hands onn you.
14
noli neglegere gratiam quae in te est quae data est tibi per prophetiam cum inpositione manuum presbyterii
15 Continue to do those things; give your life to doing them so your progress may be seen by everyone.
15
haec meditare in his esto ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus
16 Be careful in your life and in your teaching. If you continue to live and teach rightly, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
16
adtende tibi et doctrinae insta in illis hoc enim faciens et te ipsum salvum facies et qui te audiunt
