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.
