1 Timothy 4  Legacy Standard Bible

Some Will Fall Away

4 But (A)the Spirit explicitly says that (B)in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to (C)deceitful spirits and (D)doctrines of demons, 2 by the hypocrisy of liars, who have been (E)seared in their own conscience, 3 who (F)forbid marriage and advocate (G)abstaining from foods which (H)God created to be shared in (I)with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For (J)everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is (K)received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified by (L)the word of God and prayer.

A Good Minister’s Discipline

6 In pointing out these things to (M)the brothers, you will be a good (N)servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished on the words of the faith and of the [b](O)sound doctrine which you (P)have been following. 7 But refuse (Q)godless (R)myths fit only for old women. On the other hand, train yourself for the purpose of (S)godliness, 8 for (T)bodily training is only of little profit, but (U)godliness is profitable for all things, since it (V)holds promise for the (W)present life and also for the life to come. 9 (X)It is a trustworthy saying and deserving full acceptance. 10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed (Y)our hope on (Z)the living God, who is (AA)the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

11 (AB)Command and teach these things. 12 (AC)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but show yourself as (AD)a model to those who believe in word, conduct, (AE)love, faith, and purity. 13 (AF)Until I come, give attention to the public (AG)reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift within you, which was given to you through (AH)prophetic utterance with (AI)the laying on of hands by the (AJ)council of elders. 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. 16 (AK)Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will (AL)save both yourself and those who hear you.
