1 Timóteo 4

1 But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,3 forbidding to marry, {bidding} to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth.4 For every creature of God {is} good, and nothing {is} to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;5 for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing {him}.6 Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.7 But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.9 The word {is} faithful and worthy of all acceptation;10 for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that believe.11 Enjoin and teach these things.12 Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.13 Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.14 Be not negligent of the gift {that is} in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.15 Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.16 Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.

1 Maar die Gees sê uitdruklik dat in die laaste tye sommige van die geloof afvallig sal word en verleidende geeste en leringe van duiwels sal aanhang2 deur die geveinsdheid van leuenaars wat gebrandmerk is in hulle eie gewete,3 wat verbied om te trou en gebied dat die mense hulle moet onthou van voedsel wat God geskape het om met danksegging gebruik te word deur die gelowiges en die wat die waarheid ken.4 Want alles wat deur God geskape is, is goed, en niks is verwerplik as dit met danksegging ontvang word nie;5 want dit word geheilig deur die woord van God en die gebed.6 As jy hierdie dinge aan die broeders voorhou, sal jy 'n goeie dienaar van Jesus Christus wees terwyl jy jouself voed met die woorde van die geloof en van die goeie leer waarvan jy 'n navolger geword het.7 Maar verwerp onheilige en oudwyfse fabels, en oefen jou in die godsaligheid.8 Want die liggaamlike oefening is tot weinig nut, maar die godsaligheid is nuttig vir alles, omdat dit die belofte van die teenwoordige en die toekomende lewe het.9 Dit is 'n betroubare woord en werd om ten volle aangeneem te word;10 want hiervoor arbei ons ook en word ons gesmaad, omdat ons gehoop het op die lewende God wat 'n behouder is van alle mense, insonderheid van die gelowiges.11 Beveel en leer hierdie dinge.12 Laat niemand jou jonkheid verag nie, maar wees 'n voorbeeld vir die gelowiges in woord, in wandel, in liefde, in gees, in geloof, in reinheid.13 Totdat ek kom, moet jy aanhou met voorlesing, vermaning en lering.14 Verwaarloos nie die genadegawe wat in jou is nie, wat jou gegee is deur die profesie met die handoplegging van die ouderlinge.15 Wees vlytig in hierdie dinge, leef daarin, sodat jou vooruitgang vir almal duidelik kan wees.16 Let op jouself en op die leer; volhard daarin; want deur dit te doen, sal jy jouself red sowel as die wat jou hoor.
