4:1 Now 1161 the Spirit 4151 speaketh 3004 5719 expressly 4490, that 3754 in 1722 the latter 5306 times 2540 some 5100 shall depart from 868 5695 the faith 4102, giving heed 4337 5723 to seducing 4108 spirits 4151, and 2532 doctrines 1319 of devils 1140;

4:2 Speaking lies 5573 in 1722 hypocrisy 5272; having 2743 0 their 2398 conscience 4893 seared with a hot iron 2743 5772;

4:3 Forbidding 2967 5723 to marry 1060 5721, [and commanding] to abstain from 567 5733 meats 1033, which 3739 God 2316 hath created 2936 5656 to 1519 be received 3336 with 3326 thanksgiving 2169 of them which believe 4103 and 2532 know 1921 5761 the truth 225.

4:4 For 3754 every 3956 creature 2938 of God 2316 [is] good 2570, and 2532 nothing 3762 to be refused 579, if it be received 2983 5746 with 3326 thanksgiving 2169:

4:5 For 1063 it is sanctified 37 5743 by 1223 the word 3056 of God 2316 and 2532 prayer 1783.

4:6 If thou put 5294 0 the brethren 80 in remembrance 5294 5734 of these things 5023, thou shalt be 2071 5704 a good 2570 minister 1249 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, nourished up 1789 5746 in the words 3056 of faith 4102 and 2532 of good 2570 doctrine 1319, whereunto 3739 thou hast attained 3877 5758.

4:7 But 1161 refuse 3868 5737 profane 952 and 2532 old wives' 1126 fables 3454, and 1161 exercise 1128 5720 thyself 4572 [rather] unto 4314 godliness 2150.

4:8 For 1063 bodily 4984 exercise 1129 profiteth 2076 5748 5624 little 4314 3641: but 1161 godliness 2150 is 2076 5748 profitable 5624 unto 4314 all things 3956, having 2192 5723 promise 1860 of the life 2222 that now is 3568, and 2532 of that which is to come 3195 5723.(little: or, for a little time)

4:9 This [is] a faithful 4103 saying 3056 and 2532 worthy 514 of all 3956 acceptation 594.

4:10 For 1063 therefore 1519 5124 we 2872 0 both 2532 labour 2872 5719 and 2532 suffer reproach 3679 5743, because 3754 we trust 1679 5758 in 1909 the living 2198 5723 God 2316, who 3739 is 2076 5748 the Saviour 4990 of all 3956 men 444, specially 3122 of those that believe 4103.

4:11 These things 5023 command 3853 5720 and 2532 teach 1321 5720.

4:12 Let 2706 0 no man 3367 despise 2706 5720 thy 4675 youth 3503; but 235 be thou 1096 5737 an example 5179 of the believers 4103, in 1722 word 3056, in 1722 conversation 391, in 1722 charity 26, in 1722 spirit 4151, in 1722 faith 4102, in 1722 purity 47.

4:13 Till 2193 I come 2064 5736, give attendance 4337 5720 to reading 320, to exhortation 3874, to doctrine 1319.

4:14 Neglect 272 5720 not 3361 the gift 5486 that is in 1722 thee 4671, which 3739 was given 1325 5681 thee 4671 by 1223 prophecy 4394, with 3326 the laying on 1936 of the hands 5495 of the presbytery 4244.

4:15 Meditate upon 3191 5720 these things 5023; give thyself 2468 5749 wholly to 1722 them 5125; that 2443 thy 4675 profiting 4297 may 5600 5753 appear 5318 to 1722 all 3956.(to all: or, in all things)

4:16 Take heed 1907 5720 unto thyself 4572, and 2532 unto the doctrine 1319; continue 1961 5720 in them 846: for 1063 in doing 4160 5723 this 5124 thou shalt 4982 0 both 2532 save 4982 5692 thyself 4572, and 2532 them that hear 191 5723 thee 4675.
