I Timothy 4


Chapters:



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;

2:   Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

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:   For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5:   For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

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.

7:   But refuse profane and old wives' fables,

and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

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.
9:   This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
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.

11:   These things command and teach.

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.

13:   Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
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.
15:   Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
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.
