1. The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.
2. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.
3. Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten, after a prayer of thanks, by those who are believers and have come to know the truth.
4. Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks,
5. because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.
6. If you give these instructions to the believers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, as you feed yourself spiritually on the words of faith and of the true teaching which you have followed.
