1Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons;WBS — 1Timothy 4:1

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron;WBS — 1Timothy 4:2

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth.WBS — 1Timothy 4:3

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if received with thanksgiving:WBS — 1Timothy 4:4

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.WBS — 1Timothy 4:5

6 If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.WBS — 1Timothy 4:6

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather to godliness.WBS — 1Timothy 4:7

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.WBS — 1Timothy 4:8

9 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.WBS — 1Timothy 4:9

10 For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe.WBS — 1Timothy 4:10

11 These things command and teach.WBS — 1Timothy 4:11

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.WBS — 1Timothy 4:12

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.WBS — 1Timothy 4:13

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.WBS — 1Timothy 4:14

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.WBS — 1Timothy 4:15

16 Take heed to thyself and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou wilt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.WBS — 1Timothy 4:16
