1 Timothy 4:1-5 ▼

1 Now the spirit says expresly, that in the latter times some shall abandon the faith, by giving credit to seducing spirits, and the doctrine concerning demons;

2 broach'd by hypocrititical impostors, whose consciences are cauteriz'd,

3 interdicting marriage; and the use of animal food; which God created for the repast of the faithful, who embrace the truth with thankfulness.

4 for all that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it be receiv'd with thanksgiving:

5 since it is sanctified by the divine permission, and by prayer.
