1 But athe Spirit explicitly says that bin later times some will 1fall away from the faith, paying attention to cdeceitful spirits and ddoctrines of demons,
2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars aseared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,
3 men who aforbid marriage and advocate babstaining from foods which cGod has created to be dgratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
4 For aeverything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is breceived with gratitude;
5 for it is sanctified by means of athe word of God and prayer.
6 In pointing out these things to athe brethren, you will be a good bservant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the 1csound doctrine which you dhave been following.
7 But 1have nothing to do with aworldly bfables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of cgodliness;
8 for abodily discipline is only of little profit, but bgodliness is profitable for all things, since it cholds promise for the dpresent life and also for the life to come.
9 aIt is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.
10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed aour hope on bthe living God, who is cthe Savior of all men, especially of believers.
11 1aPrescribe and teach these things.
12 aLet no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, blove, faith and purity, show yourself can example 1of those who believe.
13 aUntil I come, give attention to the public breading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.
14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through aprophetic utterance with bthe laying on of hands by the 1cpresbytery.
15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
16 aPay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will 1bensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
1 aDo not sharply rebuke an bolder man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to cthe younger men as brothers,
2 the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
3 Honor widows who are awidows indeed;
4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, athey must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to 1make some return to their parents; for this is bacceptable in the sight of God.
5 Now she who is a awidow indeed and who has been left alone, bhas fixed her hope on God and continues in centreaties and prayers night and day.
6 But she who agives herself to wanton pleasure is bdead even while she lives.
7 1aPrescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has adenied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 A widow is to be aput on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been bthe wife of one man,
10 having a reputation for agood works; and if she has brought up children, if she has bshown hospitality to strangers, if she chas washed the 1saints’ feet, if she has dassisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.
11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel asensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
12 thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous 1pledge.
13 At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also agossips and bbusybodies, talking about cthings not proper to mention.
14 Therefore, I want younger widows to get amarried, bear children, bkeep house, and cgive the enemy no occasion for reproach;
15 for some ahave already turned aside to follow bSatan.
16 If any woman who is a believer ahas dependent widows, she must bassist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are cwidows indeed.
17 aThe elders who brule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who cwork hard 1at preaching and teaching.
18 For the Scripture says, “aYou shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” and “bThe laborer is worthy of his wages.”
19 Do not receive an accusation against an aelder except on the basis of btwo or three witnesses.
20 Those who continue in sin, arebuke in the presence of all, bso that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.
21 aI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.
22 aDo not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and 1thereby share bresponsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself 2free from sin.
23 No longer drink water exclusively, but ause a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
24 The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins afollow after.
25 Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and athose which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
Instructions to Those Who Minister
1 aAll who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so bthat the name of God and our doctrine will not be 1spoken against.
2 Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are abrethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who 1partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. bTeach and 2preach these principles.
3 If anyone aadvocates a different doctrine and does not 1agree with bsound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine cconforming to godliness,
4 he is aconceited and understands nothing; but he 1has a morbid interest in bcontroversial questions and cdisputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,
5 and constant friction between amen of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who bsuppose that 1godliness is a means of gain.
6 aBut godliness actually is a means of bgreat gain when accompanied by ccontentment.
7 For awe have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.
8 If we ahave food and covering, with these we shall be content.
9 aBut those who want to get rich fall into temptation and ba snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10 For athe love of money is a root of all 1sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have bwandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
11 But aflee from these things, you bman of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, cfaith, dlove, 1perseverance and gentleness.
12 aFight the good fight of bfaith; ctake hold of the eternal life dto which you were called, and you made the good econfession in the presence of fmany witnesses.
13 aI charge you in the presence of God, who 1gives life to all things, and of bChrist Jesus, who testified the cgood confession dbefore Pontius Pilate,
14 that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the aappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 which He will 1bring about at athe proper time—He who is bthe blessed and conly Sovereign, dthe King of 2kings and eLord of 3lords,
16 awho alone possesses immortality and bdwells in unapproachable light, cwhom no man has seen or can see. aTo Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
17 Instruct those who are rich in athis present world bnot to be conceited or to cfix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, dwho richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.
18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in agood 1works, bto be generous and ready to share,
19 astoring up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may btake hold of that which is life indeed.
20 O aTimothy, guard bwhat has been entrusted to you, avoiding cworldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”—
21 which some have professed and thus agone astray 1from bthe faith.
cGrace be with you.
Timothy Charged to Guard His Trust
1 Paul, aan apostle of bChrist Jesus 1cby the will of God, according to the promise of dlife in Christ Jesus,
2 To aTimothy, my beloved 1bson: cGrace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 aI thank God, whom I bserve with a cclear conscience 1the way my forefathers did, das I constantly remember you in my 2prayers night and day,
4 alonging to see you, beven as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.
5 1For I am mindful of the asincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and byour mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.
6 For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh athe gift of God which is in you through athe laying on of my hands.
7 For God has not given us a aspirit of 1timidity, but of power and love and 2discipline.
8 Therefore ado not be ashamed of the btestimony of our Lord or of me cHis prisoner, but join with me in dsuffering for the egospel according to the power of God,
9 who has asaved us and bcalled us with a holy ccalling, dnot according to our works, but according to His own bpurpose and grace which was granted us in eChrist Jesus from fall eternity,
10 but anow has been revealed by the bappearing of our Savior cChrist Jesus, who dabolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
11 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.
12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but aI am not ashamed; for I know bwhom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to cguard what I have entrusted to Him 1until dthat day.
13 1aRetain the bstandard of csound words dwhich you have heard from me, in the efaith and love which are in fChrist Jesus.
14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who adwells in us, the 1btreasure which has been entrusted to you.
15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in 1aAsia bturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 The Lord grant mercy to athe house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and bwas not ashamed of my 1cchains;
17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me—
18 the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on athat day—and you know very well what services he rendered at bEphesus.
