Chapter 4
1st Timothy
4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some will 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 Elohim has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4:4 For every creature of Elohim is good, and nothing is to be refused, if received with thanksgiving:
4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of Elohim, and prayer.
4:6 If you shall put the brothers in remembrance of these things, you will be a good minister of YASHUWAH the Messiah, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which you have attained.
4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself rather to elohimliness.
4:8 For bodily exercise profits little: but elohimliness is profitable to 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 labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Elohim who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those who believe.
4:11 These things command and teach.
4:12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
4:15 Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; so that your profiting may appear to all.
4:16 Take heed to yourself and to your doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you will both save yourself, and those who hear you.
