1 Тимофію 4
Ukrainian Bible
4 А Дух ясно говорить, що від віри відступляться дехто в останні часи, ті, хто слухає духів підступних і наук демонів,
2 хто в лицемірстві говорить неправду, і спалив сумління своє,
3 хто одружуватися забороняє, наказує стримуватися від їжі, яку Бог створив на поживу з подякою віруючим та тим, хто правду пізнав.
4 Кожне бо Боже твориво добре, і ніщо не негідне, що приймаємо з подякою,
5 воно бо освячується Божим Словом і молитвою.
6 Як будеш оце подавати братам, то будеш ти добрий служитель Христа Ісуса, годований словами віри та доброї науки, що за нею слідом ти пішов.
7 Цурайся нечистих та бабських байок, а вправляйся в благочесті.
8 Бо вправа тілесна мало корисна, а благочестя корисне на все, бо має обітницю життя теперішнього та майбутнього.
9 Вірне це слово, і гідне всякого прийняття!
10 Бо на це ми й працюємо і зносимо ганьбу, що надію кладемо на Бога Живого, Який усім людям Спаситель, найбільше ж для вірних.
11 Наказуй оце та навчай!
12 Нехай молодим твоїм віком ніхто не гордує, але будь зразком для вірних у слові, у житті, у любові, у дусі, у вірі, у чистості!
13 Поки прийду я, пильнуй читання, нагадування та науки!
14 Не занедбуй благодатного дара в собі, що був даний тобі за пророцтвом із покладенням рук пресвітерів.
15 Про це піклуйся, у цім пробувай, щоб успіх твій був явний для всіх!
16 Уважай на самого себе та на науку, тримайся цього. Бо чинячи так, ти спасеш і самого себе, і тих, хто тебе слухає!
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.

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.
