Warnings against False Teachers
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Minister of Jesus Christ
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
