提摩太前书 4
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
预言有人离弃信仰
4 圣灵明说，在末后的时期必有人离弃信仰，去听信那诱惑人的邪灵和鬼魔的教训。 2 这是出于撒谎者的假冒；这些人的良心如同被热铁烙了一般。 3 他们禁止嫁娶，又禁戒食物—就是 神所造、让那信而明白真理的人存感谢的心领受的。 4 神所造之物样样都是好的，若存感谢的心领受，没有一样是不可吃的， 5 都因 神的话和人的祈祷而成为圣洁了。
基督耶稣的好执事
6 你若把这些事提醒弟兄们，就是基督耶稣的好执事，在信仰的话语和你向来所服从的正确教义上得到了栽培。 7 要弃绝那世俗的言语和老妇的无稽传说。要在敬虔上操练自己： 8 因操练身体有些益处；但敬虔在各方面都有益，它有现今和未来的生命的应许。 9 这话可信，值得完全接受。 10 我们劳苦，努力[a]正是为此，因为我们的指望在乎永生的 神。他是人人的救主，更是信徒的救主。
11 你要嘱咐和教导这些事。 12 不可叫人小看你年轻，总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心、清洁上，都作信徒的榜样。 13 要以宣读圣经，劝勉，教导为念，直等到我来。 14 不要忽略你所得的恩赐，就是从前藉着预言、在众长老按手的时候赐给你的。 15 这些事你要殷勤去做，并要在这些事上专心，让众人看出你的长进来。 16 要谨慎自己和自己的教导，要在这些事上恒心，因为这样做，既能救自己，又能救听你的人。

1 Timothy 4
New Life Version
False Teaching in the Last Days
4 The Holy Spirit tells us in plain words that in the last days some people will turn away from the faith. They will listen to what is said about spirits and follow the teaching about demons. 2 Those who teach this tell it as the truth when they know it is a lie. They do it so much that their own hearts no longer say it is wrong. 3 They will say, “Do not get married. Do not eat some kinds of food.” But God gave these things to Christians who know the truth. We are to thank God for them. 4 Everything God made is good. We should not put anything aside if we can take it and thank God for it. 5 It is made holy by the Word of God and prayer.
Christians Are to Grow
6 If you keep telling these things to the Christians, you will be a good worker for Jesus Christ. You will feed your own soul on these words of faith and on this good teaching which you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with foolish stories old women tell. Keep yourself growing in God-like living. 8 Growing strong in body is all right but growing in God-like living is more important. It will not only help you in this life now but in the next life also. 9 These words are true and they can be trusted. 10 Because of this, we work hard and do our best because our hope is in the living God, the One Who would save all men. He saves those who believe in Him.
Paul’s Helpful Words to Young Timothy
11 Tell people that this is what they must do. 12 Let no one show little respect for you because you are young. Show other Christians how to live by your life. They should be able to follow you in the way you talk and in what you do. Show them how to live in faith and in love and in holy living. 13 Until I come, read and preach and teach the Word of God to the church. 14 Be sure to use the gift God gave you. The leaders saw this in you when they laid their hands on you and said what you should do. 15 Think about all this. Work at it so everyone may see you are growing as a Christian. 16 Watch yourself how you act and what you teach. Stay true to what is right. If you do, you and those who hear you will be saved from the punishment of sin.
