\subsection{I Timothy 4}
|
|
\VS{1} Now the spirit explicitly says that in the latter seasons\fnKairos() some will withdraw
|
|
from the faith, giving heed to deceptive spirits and teachings of demons,
|
|
\VS{2} speaking lies in hypocrisy, their own conscience seared,
|
|
\VS{3} hindering\footnote{or ``forbidding''} to be marrying, [commanding] to be abstaining from foods, which God created for sharing with thanks to those believing and
|
|
having known the truth.
|
|
\VS{4} For every creation of God is good, and
|
|
nothing [is to be] rejected, being received with thanksgiving.
|
|
\VS{5} For it is made holy through [the] word of God and thankful prayer.
|
|
\VS{6} Having made these [things] known to the brothers, you will be [a]
|
|
good servant of Christ Jesus, brought up in the words of faith and of good teaching,
|
|
which you have followed.
|
|
\VS{7} But be refusing profane and old-wives tales. Rather be exercising
|
|
yourself for godliness.
|
|
\VS{8} For bodily exercise is little profitable, but godliness is profitable towards
|
|
everything, having promise of zoe-life\fnZoe{} now and to come.
|
|
\VS{9} Trustworthy [is this] word and worthy of all acceptance.
|
|
\VS{10} For this therefore we labor and we struggle, because we have hoped on [the]
|
|
zoe-living\fnZoe{} God, who is savior of all men, especially of [those] believing.
|
|
\VS{11} Be commanding and be teaching these [things].
|
|
\VS{12} Let\fnImperative{} no one
|
|
be despising your youth, but become [a] pattern for the believers in word, in
|
|
conduct, in agape-love, in faith, in purity.
|
|
\VS{13} Until I come, be
|
|
occupying yourself with reading, with exhortation, with teaching.
|
|
\VS{14} Be not neglecting your gift, which was given to you through prophecy
|
|
with the laying on of the hands of the elder.
|
|
\VS{15} Be cultivating these [things], be in
|
|
them, in order that your progress be evident to all.
|
|
\VS{16} Be attending to
|
|
yourself, and to [your] teaching, be persevering in them, for doing this you will
|
|
save yourself and those hearing you.
