DRC - I Timothy - 4

4:1  Now the Spirit manifestly saith that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error and doctrines of devils,

4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy and having their conscience seared,

4:3  Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and by them that have known the truth.

4:4  For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:

4:5  For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

4:6  These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.

4:7  But avoid foolish and old wives fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.

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

4:9  A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

4:10  For therefore we labour and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

4:11  These things command and teach:

4:12  Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful, in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.

4:13  Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation and to doctrine.

4:14  Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.

4:15  Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.

4:16  Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
