디모데전서 4장 NASB
- 1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons
- 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron
- 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
- 4 For everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;
- 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.
- 6 In pointing out these things to the brethren you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.
- 7 But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;
- 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit but godliness is profitable for all things since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
- 9 It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.
- 10 For it is for this we labor and strive because we have fixed our hope on the living God who is the Savior of all men especially of believers.
- 11 Prescribe and teach these things.
- 12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness but rather in speech conduct love faith and purity show yourself an example of those who believe.
- 13 Until I come give attention to the public reading of Scripture to exhortation and teaching.
- 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
- 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them so that your progress will be evident to all.
- 16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
