Dual Panel1The Holy Spirit
2Those teachings come through people that tell lies and trick other people. Those bad people cannot see what is right and what is wrong. It is like their understanding was destroyed by a hot iron.
3Those bad people say that it is wrong to marry. And they say that there are some foods that people must not eat. But God made those foods. And the people who believe and who know the truth can eat those foods with thanks.
4Everything that God made is good. Nothing that God made should be refused if it is accepted with thanks to God.
5Everything God made is made holy (pure) by what God has said and by prayer.
Be A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6Tell these things to the brothers and sisters there. This will show that you are a good servant of Christ Jesus. You will show that you are made strong by the words of faith and good teaching that you have followed.
7People tell silly stories that don’t agree with God’s truth. Don’t follow {what} those stories {teach}. But teach yourself to truly serve God.
8Training (teaching) your body helps you in some ways. But serving God helps you in every way. Serving God brings you blessings in this life and in the future life too.
9What I say is true, and you should fully accept it.

11Command and teach these things.
12You are young, but don’t let any person treat you like you are not important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them with the things you say, with the way you live, with your love, with your faith, and with your pure life.
