2through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;Select 1 Timothy 4:2

3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.Select 1 Timothy 4:3

4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:Select 1 Timothy 4:4

5for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.Select 1 Timothy 4:5

7but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:Select 1 Timothy 4:7

8for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.Select 1 Timothy 4:8

9Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.Select 1 Timothy 4:9

10For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.Select 1 Timothy 4:10

11These things command and teach.Select 1 Timothy 4:11

12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.Select 1 Timothy 4:12

13Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.Select 1 Timothy 4:13

14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.Select 1 Timothy 4:14

15Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all.Select 1 Timothy 4:15

16Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.Select 1 Timothy 4:16
