1 And the Spirit says expressly, that in later times some shall be removed from the faith, holding to deceitful spirits, and doctrines of evil spirits; 2 In the hypocrisy of speaking falsely; burned with a hot iron in their own consciousness; 3 Hindering to marry, to keep from victuals which God created for participation, with thanks, for the faithful and them knowing the truth. 4 For every created thing of God good, and nothing thrown away, received with thanks: 5 For it is consecrated by the word of God and entreaty. 6 These having laid down to the brethren, thou shalt be a good servant of Jesus Christ, brought up in the words of faith and good doctrine, which thou hast closely followed. 7 And profane and old women's fictions reject, and exercise thyself in devotion. 8 For bodily exercise is profitable, to little: but devotion is profitable to all things, having promise of life now, and that about to be. 1 Timothy 4:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
