Old Testament

New Testament

1 Timothy 4:1-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some people will turn away from the faith. They will pay attention to spirits that deceive and to the teaching of demons.

2. They will be controlled by the pretense of lying, and their own consciences will be seared.

3. They will prohibit marriage and eating foods that God created—and he intended them to be accepted with thanksgiving by those who are faithful and have come to know the truth.

4. Everything that has been created by God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected.

5. These things are made holy by God’s word and prayer.

6. If you point these things out to the believers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus who has been trained by the words of faith and the good teaching that you’ve carefully followed.

7. But stay away from the godless myths that are passed down from the older women. Train yourself for a holy life!
