1 Timothy 4
New King James Version
The Great Apostasy
4 Now the Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed (A)to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 (B)speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience (C)seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is [b]sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, (D)nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. 7 But (E)reject profane and old wives’ fables, and (F)exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For (G)bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, (H)having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end [c]we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, (I)who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 11 These things command and teach.
Take Heed to Your Ministry
12 Let no one [d]despise your youth, but be an (J)example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, [e]in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to [f]doctrine. 14 (K)Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy (L)with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Babala tungkol sa Pagtalikod
4 Maliwanag na sinasabi ng Espiritu na sa mga huling araw ay iiwan ng iba ang pananampalataya at susunod sa mga mapanlinlang na espiritu at mga turo ng mga demonyo. 2 Ang mga katuruang ito ay pinalalaganap ng mga taong mapagkunwari, sinungaling at may manhid na budhi. 3 Ipinagbabawal nila ang pag-aasawa, gayundin ang ilang uri ng pagkain, mga pagkaing nilikha ng Diyos upang tanggaping may pasasalamat ng mga sumasampalataya at nakauunawa ng katotohanan. 4 Lahat ng nilikha ng Diyos ay mabuti at walang dapat tanggihan, sa halip ay dapat tanggapin na may pasasalamat, 5 dahil ito ay nagiging malinis sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Diyos at ng panalangin.
Ang Mabuting Lingkod ni Cristo Jesus
6 Kung ituturo mo nang malinaw ang mga ito sa mga kapatid, ikaw ay magiging mabuting tagapaglingkod ni Cristo Jesus, isang tagapaglingkod na patuloy na sinasanay sa katuruan ng pananampalataya at mabuting aral na iyong sinusunod. 7 Huwag mong bigyang pansin ang mga walang kabuluhang alamat at mga sabi-sabi, sa halip, magsanay ka sa banal na pamumuhay. 8 Mahalaga ang pagpapalakas ng katawan, ngunit higit ang pakinabang sa banal na pamumuhay. Mapapakinabangan ito sa lahat ng bagay sapagkat may pangako ito hindi lamang sa buhay ngayon, kundi maging sa panahong darating. 9 Mapagkakatiwalaan ang salitang ito at nararapat tanggapin ng lahat. 10 Dahil dito, tayo'y nagsisikap at nagpupunyagi, at umaasa sa buháy na Diyos, ang tagapagligtas ng lahat, lalo na ng mga sumasampalataya.
11 Iutos mo at ituro mo ang mga bagay na ito. 12 Huwag mong hayaang hamakin ka ng sinuman dahil sa iyong kabataan. Sa halip, maging halimbawa ka ng lahat ng mga mananampalataya sa iyong salita, ugali, pag-ibig, pananampalataya at dalisay na pamumuhay. 13 Habang hindi pa ako dumarating, iukol mo ang iyong panahon sa pagbabasa ng Kasulatan sa madla, sa pangangaral[a] at pagtuturo. 14 Huwag mong pababayaan ang kaloob ng Espiritu na nasa iyo, na ibinigay sa iyo nang magsalita ang mga propeta at ipatong sa iyo ng mga matatandang pinuno ng iglesya ang kanilang mga kamay. 15 Pag-ukulan mo ng panahon ang pagsasagawa ng mga ito upang makita ng lahat ang iyong paglago. 16 Bantayan mong mabuti ang iyong pamumuhay at pagtuturo. Magpatuloy ka sa mga ito sapagkat sa paggawa mo nito, ililigtas mo ang iyong sarili gayundin ang mga nakikinig sa iyo.

English Standard Version
Some Will Depart from the Faith
4 Now (A)the Spirit expressly says that (B)in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to (C)deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of (D)liars whose consciences are seared, 3 (E)who forbid marriage and (F)require abstinence from foods (G)that God created (H)to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For (I)everything created by God is good, and (J)nothing is to be rejected if it is (K)received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy (L)by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6 (M)If you put these things before the brothers,[a] you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have (N)followed. 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, (O)silly myths. Rather (P)train yourself for godliness; 8 for while (Q)bodily training is of some value, godliness (R)is of value in every way, as (S)it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 9 The saying is (T)trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and strive,[b] because we have our hope set on the living God, (U)who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach (V)these things. 12 (W)Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers (X)an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 (Y)Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you (Z)by prophecy when the council of elders (AA)laid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,[c] so that (AB)all may see your progress. 16 (AC)Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save (AD)both yourself and (AE)your hearers.
