1 Timothy 4
1 He foretelleth that in the latter times there shall be departure from the faith. 6 And to the end that Timothy might not fail in his duty, he furnisheth him with divers precepts belonging thereto.
4:1
But the Spirit 4151 explicitly 4490 says 3004 that in later 5306 times 2540 some 5100 will fall 868 away 868 from the faith 4102, paying 4337 attention 4337 to deceitful 4108 spirits 4151 and doctrines 1319 of demons 1140,
4:2
by means 1722 of the hypocrisy 5272 of liars 5573 seared 2741b in their own 2398 conscience 4893 as with a branding 2741b iron 2741b,
4:3
[men] who forbid 2967 marriage 1060 [and advocate] abstaining 568 from foods 1033 which 3739 God 2316 has created 2936 to be gratefully 3326 2169 shared 3336 in by those 3588 who believe 4103 and know 1921 the truth 225.
4:4
For everything 3956 created 2938 by God 2316 is good 2570, and nothing 3762 is to be rejected 579 if it is received 2983 with gratitude 2169;
4:5
for it is sanctified 37 by means 1223 of the word 3056 of God 2316 and prayer 1783.
4:6
¶ In pointing 5294 out these 3778 things 3778 to the brethren 80, you will be a good 2570 servant 1249 of Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, [constantly] nourished 1789 on the words 3056 of the faith 4102 and of the sound 2570 doctrine 1319 which 3739 you have been following 3877.
4:7
But have 3868 nothing 3868 to do 3868 with worldly 952 fables 3454 fit 1126 only 1126 for old 1126 women 1126. On the other 1161 hand 1161, discipline 1128 yourself 4572 for the purpose of godliness 2150;
4:8
for bodily 4984 discipline 1129 is only of little 3641 profit 5624, but godliness 2150 is profitable 5624 for all 3956 things 3956, since it holds 2192 promise 1860 for the present 3568 life 2222 and [also] for the [life] to come 3195.
4:9
It is a trustworthy 4103 statement 3056 deserving 514 full 3956 acceptance 594.
4:10
For it is for this 3778 we labor 2872 and strive 75, because 3754 we have fixed 1679 our hope 1679 on the living 2198 God 2316, who 3739 is the Savior 4990 of all 3956 men 444, especially 3122 of believers 4103.
4:11
¶ Prescribe 3853 and teach 1321 these 3778 things 3778.
4:12
Let no 3367 one 3367 look 2706 down 2706 on your youthfulness 3503, but [rather] in speech 3056, conduct 391, love 26, faith 4102 [and] purity 47, show 1096 yourself an example 5179b of those 3588 who believe 4103.
4:13
Until 2193 I come 2064, give 4337 attention 4337 to the [public] reading 320 [of Scripture], to exhortation 3874 and teaching 1319.
4:14
Do not neglect 272 the spiritual 5486 gift 5486 within 1722 you, which 3739 was bestowed 1325 on you through 1223 prophetic 4394 utterance 4394 with the laying 1936 on of hands 5495 by the presbytery 4244.
4:15
Take 3191 pains 3191 with these 3778 things 3778; be [absorbed] in them, so 2443 that your progress 4297 will be evident 5318 to all 3956.
4:16
Pay 1907 close 1907 attention 1907 to yourself 4572 and to your teaching 1319; persevere 1961 in these 846 things 846, for as you do 4160 this 3778 you will ensure 4982 salvation 4982 both 2532 for yourself 4572 and for those 3588 who hear 191 you.
