¹Now the Spirit [Ruach] speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons;

²Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

³Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God-The Father has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

⁴For every creature of God-The Father [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁵For it is sanctified by the word of God-The Father and prayer.

⁶If youi put the brethren in remembrance of these things, youi shall be a good minister of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] , nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto youi have attained.

⁷But refuse Profane (treat as common; defile) and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself [rather] unto godliness.

⁸For bodily exercise profits for a little time: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

⁹This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

¹⁰For therefore we both labour and suffer (allow, to let, permit) reproach (disgrace; shame) , because we trust in the living God-The Father, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

¹¹These things command and teach.

¹²Let no man despise youri youth; but be youi an example of the believers, in word, in Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) , in charity, in Spirit [Ruach] , in faith, in purity.

¹³Till I come, give attendance to reading, to Exhortation (encouragement; counsel) , to doctrine.

¹⁴Neglect not the gift that is in youi , which was given youi by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the Presbytery (assembly of elders) .

¹⁵Meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them; that youri profiting may appear to all.

¹⁶Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this youi shall both save yourself, and them that hear youi .
