1 Tim 4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
1 Tim 4:3men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
1 Tim 4:4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;
1 Tim 4:5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.
1 Tim 4:6 ¶ In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.
1 Tim 4:7 But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;
1 Tim 4:8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
1 Tim 4:9 It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.
1 Tim 4:10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.
1 Tim 4:12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
1 Tim 4:13 Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.
1 Tim 4:14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
1 Tim 4:15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
1 Tim 4:16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
1 Tim 5:1 Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,
1 Tim 5:2 the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
1 Tim 5:3 ¶ Honor widows who are widows indeed;
1 Tim 5:4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
1 Tim 5:5 Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.
1 Tim 5:6 But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.
