4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giuing heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of deuils: 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisie, hauing their conscience seared with a hote iron, 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to absteine from meates, which God hath created to bee receiued with thankesgiuing of them which beleeue, and know the trueth. 4:4 For euery creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing: 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer. 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 4:7 But refuse prophane and olde wiues fables, and exercise thy selfe rather vnto godlinesse. 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth litle, but godlinesse is profitable vnto all things, hauing promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 4:9 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation: 4:10 For therfore we both labour, and suffer reproch, because we trust in the liuing God, who is the Sauiour of all men, specially of those that beleeue. 4:11 These things command & teach. 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of the beleeuers, in word, in conuersation, in charitie, in spirit, in faith, in puritie. 4:13 Till I come, giue attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was giuen thee by prophesie, with the laying on of the hands of the Presbyterie. 4:15 Meditate vpon these things, giue thy selfe wholly to them, that thy profiting may appeare to all. 4:16 Take heed vnto thy selfe, and vnto the doctrine: continue in them: for in doing this, thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee.
