1 Timothy 4:1-16 💒
"Some Will Depart from the Faith"
New International Version
"Some Will Depart from the Faith"
New International Version
1) "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."
2) "Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron."
3) "They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth."
4) "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,"
5) "because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer."
A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6) "If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed."
7) "Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; "
8) "for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."
9) "The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance."
10) For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe."
11) "Command and teach these things."
12) "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."
13) "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching."
14) "Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you."
15) "Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress."
16) "Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers."
