Apostasy |
|
|
 |
|
1 Timothy 4:1
|
|
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later
times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits
and doctrines of demons, |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:2
|
|
by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in
their own conscience as with a branding iron, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:3
|
|
men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining
from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe
and know the truth. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:4
|
|
For everything created by God is good, and nothing
is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; |
| |
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:5
|
|
for it is sanctified by means of the word of
God and prayer. |

A Good Minister's Discipline |
| |
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:6
|
|
In pointing out these things to the brethren,
you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words
of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:7
|
|
But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit
only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of
godliness; |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:8
|
|
for bodily discipline is only of little profit,
but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present
life and also for the life to come. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:9
|
|
It is a trustworthy statement deserving full
acceptance. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:10
|
|
For it is for this we labor and strive, because
we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially
of believers. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:11
|
|
Prescribe and teach these things. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:12
|
|
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but
rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of
those who believe. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:13
|
|
Until I come, give attention to the public reading
of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:14
|
|
Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you,
which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands
by the presbytery. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:15
|
|
Take pains with these things; be absorbed in
them, so that your progress will be evident to all. |
|
|
|
|
1 Timothy 4:16
|
|
Pay close attention to yourself and to your
teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation
both for yourself and for those who hear you. |
