1 Timothy 4:1-8 ▼

1 Nowe the spirite speaketh euidently, that in the latter tymes some shall depart from the fayth, geuing heede vnto spirites of errour, & doctrines of deuyls,

2 Which speake false in hypocrisie, hauyng their conscience seared with an hotte iron:

3 Forbidding to marrie & commaunding to abstayne from meates whiche God hath created to be receaued with geuing thankes, of them whiche beleue, and knowe the trueth.

4 For euery creature of God is good, and nothyng to be refused, yf it be receaued with thankes geuyng.

5 For it is sanctified by the worde of God and prayer.

6 Yf thou put the brethren in remembraunce of these thynges, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, which hast ben norysshed vp in the wordes of fayth and of good doctrine, which thou hast continually folowed.

7 But cast away prophane & old wiues fables: Exercise thy selfe rather vnto godlynesse.

8 For bodyly exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all thinges, hauing promise of the lyfe that is nowe, and of that which is to come.
