1 Timothy :   Chapter 4 
--------------------------------------
4:1   Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 

4:2   Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 

4:3   Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 

4:4   For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 

4:5   For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 

4:6   If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 

4:7   But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 

4:8   For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 

4:9   This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 

4:10   For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 

4:11   These things command and teach. 

4:12   Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

4:13   Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 

4:14   Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 

4:15   Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 

4:16   Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
