| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3They will try to stop people from marrying and from eating certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For everything God created is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. |

| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Do not have anything to do with godless myths and fables of old women. Instead, train yourself to be godly. |

| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Until I arrive, give your full concentration to the public reading of Scripture, to exhorting, and to teaching. |

| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Think on these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Pay close attention to your life and your teaching. Persevere in these things, because if you do so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you. |
