I TIMOTHY
Chapter 4
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:1 | Now the Ruach HaKodesh says befeirush and in no uncertain terms that in the acharit hayamim some will become meshummad (apostate) from the emunah [of Moshiach], giving heed to deceitful ruchot (spirits) and teachings of shedim, | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:2 | through the tzevi'ut (hypocrisy) of ones [morim] speaking sheker, the matzpun of whom is seared as with a branding iron. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:3 | Such will forbid nisu'im (marriage), commanding hinnazerut (abstinence) from that which Hashem created for partaking with todah by the ma'aminim in Moshiach and by the ones who know haEmes, | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:4 | because the whole Bri'ah (Creation) that Hashem has created is tov [Bereshis 1:4,10,12,18,21,25,31] and nothing is to be rejected that is received with todah. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:5 | For it is being set apart as kadosh through the dvar Hashem and tefillos and berachot. A GOOD K'LI KODESH OF MOSHIACH | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:6 | By presenting these things to the achim [in Moshiach] you will be a good k'li kodesh (minister) of Moshiach Yehoshua, you will be one nourished with the divrei haEmunah and the torah yeshara (straight teaching) which you have followed. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:7 | But the worldly aggadot and bubbemeises (old wives tales), refuse. Rather, train yourself [1:4] for chassidus [in Moshiach]. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:8 | For hitammelut (bodily exercise) is kedai (profitable) a bissle, but chassidus [in Moshiach] is profitable in every way, holding havtachah (promise) of Chayyim now in Olam Hazeh, and, later, of Olam Habah. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:10 | For to this end we labor and strive at the melocha (task), because we have set tikvateynu in the EL CHAI [Yehoshua 3:10] who is Moshi'a (Savior) of kol Bnei Adam, that is, the ma'aminim [in Moshiach]. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:12 | Let no one despise your youth, but become a mofet (example) for the ma'aminim [in Moshiach] in loshon (speech), in hitnahagut (conduct), in ahavah, in emunah, and in lev tahor. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:13 | Until I come, attend to the keri'ah betzibbur (congregational public reading) of the Kitvei Hakodesh, attend to the hattafah (preaching) and to the hora'ah (teaching). | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:14 | Do not neglect the mattanah (gift) in you which was given to you by means of nevu'ah (prophecy) with the s'michah administered by the Ziknei haKehillah. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:15 | Put these things into practice, that your progress in shomer masoret (religious devotion) may be manifest to all. | |
I Ti | OrthJBC | 4:16 | Be shomer both toward yourself and toward your hora'ah, and be arain getun (engrossed, torud [completely absorbed and involved]) in this, for, by so doing, you will come to Yeshu'at Eloheynu, and this means not only you yourself but also those who hear your hattafah [about Moshiach]. | |
