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

2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, their own conscience having been seared with a hot iron,

3 forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thankfulness by those who believe and know the truth.

4 Because every creation of God is good, and nothing rejected that is received with thankfulness,

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

6 Laying these things down to the brothers, thou will be a good helper of Jesus Christ, reared up in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine that thou have followed.

7 But reject the profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself to piety.

8 For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is coming.

9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance.

10 For we both labor and are reproached for this, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of the faithful.

11 These things command and teach.

12 Let no man disparage thy youth, but become an example of the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

13 Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

14 Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

15 Think on these things--exist within these things--so that thy progress may be visible among all.

16 Hold firm to thyself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this thou will save both thyself and those who hear thee.

1 The sprete speaketh evydently that in the latter tymes some shall departe from the fayth and shall geve hede vnto spretes of erroure and dyvelysshe doctrine of them

2 which speake falce thorow ypocrisye and have their consciences marked with an hote yron

3 forbyddinge to mary and commaundinge to abstayne from meates which God hath created to be receaved with gevynge thankes of them which beleve and knowe ye trueth.

4 For all the creatures of God are good and nothynge to be refused yf it be receaved with thankes gevynge.

5 For it is sanctyfyed by the worde of God and prayer.

6 Yf thou shalt put the brethren in remembraunce of these thynges thou shalt be a good minister of Iesu Christ which hast bene norisshed vp in the wordes of the fayth and good doctryne which doctryne thou hast continually followed.

7 But cast awaye vngostly and olde wyves fables.Exercyse thy silfe vnto godlines.

8 For bodely exercise proffiteth lyttll: But godlines is good vnto all thynges as a thynge which hath promyses of the lyfe that is now and of the lyfe to come.

9 This is a sure sayinge and of all parties worthy to be receaved.

10 For therfore we laboure and suffre rebuke because we beleve in the livynge god which is the savioure of all men: but specially of those that beleve.

11 Suche thynges commaunde and teache.

12 Let no man despyse thy youth: but be vnto them that beleve an insample in worde in conversacion in love in sprete in fayth and in purenes.

13 Till I come geve attendaunce to redynge to exhortacion and to doctryne.

14 Despyse not the gyfte that is in ye which was geven the thorow prophesye and with layinge on of ye hondes of an elder.

15 These thynges exercyse and geve thy silfe vnto them that it maye be sene how thou profetest in all thinges.

16 Take hede vnto thy silfe and vnto learnynge and continue therin. For if thou shalt so do thou shalt save thy silfe and them that heare the.
