 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils;
 4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
 4:3  Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from
meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving
of them which believe and know the truth.
 4:4  For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be
refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
 4:5  For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
 4:6  If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in
the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast
attained.
 4:7  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise
thyself [rather] unto godliness.
 4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come.
 4:9  This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation.
 4:10  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all
men, specially of those that believe.
 4:11  These things command and teach.
 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of
the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit,
in faith, in purity.
 4:13  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation,
to doctrine.
 4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given
thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the
presbytery.
 4:15  Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
that thy profiting may appear to all.
 4:16  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue
in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and
them that hear thee.
