Darby Bible Translation

1 Timothy 4

Some Will Depart from the Faith

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

Warnings against False Teachers

But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons

through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,

speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,

who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

forbidding to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;

for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

If you put these things before the brothers,a you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.

A Good Minister of Jesus Christ

Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;

But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;

for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.

The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;

For to this end we toil and strive,b because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that believe.

Command and teach these things.

Enjoin and teach these things.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.

Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.

Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,c so that all may see your progress.

Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.

Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.
