1 TIMOTHY Chapter 4

1Tim 4

Wrong teachings are creeping in

1 Moreover, the SPIRIT distinctly speaks, that later in times, certain persons will revolt/depart from Faith, by paying attention to instructions of impostors and spirits of demons.

2 mendacious/untruthful in hypocrisy; become insensitive/cauterized to their own co-perception,

3 forbiding wedding and broma-foods (forbidden/allowed food by Moses law) created by God, which should be fully-received unto communion/participation amid gratitude (to God) by the Faithful ones, who have fully-known the Truth.

4 For all the creatures of God are beautiful, and should be received with gratitude (to God); not even one thing should be an outcast/a cast-away.

5 For, they are to be made holy/consecrated through formal petition/interview of the words of God.

Faithful ones should exercise/train themselves to follow virtuous teachings. 

6 Brethren who propose/are put under these things, could be virtuous servants of Jesus Christ, by being nurtured (nourished up) with the words, even by virtuous instructions on Faith which they should closely follow.

7 Moreover, they should shun profane/heathenish things, even myths pertaining to old women (anile), and be exercised/trained (gymnaze) towards Piety on its own;

8 because as physical/bodily exercises/trainings (P.E) is profitable, but, a little (exercises) towards piety is profitable for everybody who hold on to the promise of (zoe) Life now, and in the future.

9 it is a trustworthy/faithful account, and worthy of acceptance by all.

10 For, we work hard and contend unto these things, that men are expected to live upon the SAVIOR, especially all who are faithful/trustworthy to God.

11 Transmit and teach that message.

Be focus on your ministry and be a doer yourself. 

12 Not even one thing in your youth should despise Faith, but in turn (conduct), become an example to believers, in words, in selfless-Love and in purity/chastity.

13 Till (you) come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to the teachings.

14 Never neglect the gift/charisma of prophecy in you, which is given to you through (my) laying of hands amid the Presbytery.

15 meditate on these things; at least, it is in these things that your progress will be apparent to all, 

16 and by holding on to these instructions and DO them yourself, as you stay over (there), even yourself will save those who are listening to you.
