Dual Panel1Now <1161> the Spirit <4151> speaketh <3004> (5719) expressly <4490>_, that <3754> in <1722> the latter <5306> times <2540> some <5100> shall depart from <868> (5695) the faith <4102>_, giving heed <4337> (5723) to seducing <4108> spirits <4151>_, and <2532> doctrines <1319> of devils <1140>_;
2Speaking lies <5573> in <1722> hypocrisy <5272>_; having <2743> (0) their <2398> conscience <4893> seared with a hot iron <2743> (5772)_;
3Forbidding <2967> (5723) to marry <1060> (5721)_, [and commanding] to abstain from <567> (5733) meats <1033>_, which <3739> God <2316> hath created <2936> (5656) to <1519> be received <3336> with <3326> thanksgiving <2169> of them which believe <4103> and <2532> know <1921> (5761) the truth <225>_.
4For <3754> every <3956> creature <2938> of God <2316> [is] good <2570>_, and <2532> nothing <3762> to be refused <579>_, if it be received <2983> (5746) with <3326> thanksgiving <2169>_:
5For <1063> it is sanctified <37> (5743) by <1223> the word <3056> of God <2316> and <2532> prayer <1783>_.
6If thou put <5294> (0) the brethren <80> in remembrance <5294> (5734) of these things <5023>_, thou shalt be <2071> (5704) a good <2570> minister <1249> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, nourished up <1789> (5746) in the words <3056> of faith <4102> and <2532> of good <2570> doctrine <1319>_, whereunto <3739> thou hast attained <3877> (5758)_.
7But <1161> refuse <3868> (5737) profane <952> and <2532> old wives <1126>_' fables <3454>_, and <1161> exercise <1128> (5720) thyself <4572> [rather] unto <4314> godliness <2150>_.
8For <1063> bodily <4984> exercise <1129> profiteth <2076> (5748) <5624> little <4314> <3641>_: but <1161> godliness <2150> is <2076> (5748) profitable <5624> unto <4314> all things <3956>_, having <2192> (5723) promise <1860> of the life <2222> that now is <3568>_, and <2532> of that which is to come <3195> (5723)_. {little: or, for a little time}
9This [is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056> and <2532> worthy <514> of all <3956> acceptation <594>_.
10For <1063> therefore <1519> <5124> we <2872> (0) both <2532> labour <2872> (5719) and <2532> suffer reproach <3679> (5743)_, because <3754> we trust <1679> (5758) in <1909> the living <2198> (5723) God <2316>_, who <3739> is <2076> (5748) the Saviour <4990> of all <3956> men <444>_, specially <3122> of those that believe <4103>_.
11These things <5023> command <3853> (5720) and <2532> teach <1321> (5720)_.
12Let <2706> (0) no man <3367> despise <2706> (5720) thy <4675> youth <3503>_; but <235> be thou <1096> (5737) an example <5179> of the believers <4103>_, in <1722> word <3056>_, in <1722> conversation <391>_, in <1722> charity <26>_, in <1722> spirit <4151>_, in <1722> faith <4102>_, in <1722> purity <47>_.
13Till <2193> I come <2064> (5736)_, give attendance <4337> (5720) to reading <320>_, to exhortation <3874>_, to doctrine <1319>_.
14Neglect <272> (5720) not <3361> the gift <5486> that is in <1722> thee <4671>_, which <3739> was given <1325> (5681) thee <4671> by <1223> prophecy <4394>_, with <3326> the laying on <1936> of the hands <5495> of the presbytery <4244>_.
15Meditate upon <3191> (5720) these things <5023>_; give thyself <2468> (5749) wholly to <1722> them <5125>_; that <2443> thy <4675> profiting <4297> may <5600> (5753) appear <5318> to <1722> all <3956>_. {to all: or, in all things}
16Take heed <1907> (5720) unto thyself <4572>_, and <2532> unto the doctrine <1319>_; continue <1961> (5720) in them <846>_: for <1063> in doing <4160> (5723) this <5124> thou shalt <4982> (0) both <2532> save <4982> (5692) thyself <4572>_, and <2532> them that hear <191> (5723) thee <4675>_.
