New International Version
4 For everything God created is good,(A) and nothing is to be rejected(B) if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God(C) and prayer.
6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith(D) and of the good teaching that you have followed.(E)
