Predicción de la apostasía
4 El Espíritu(A) dice claramente que en los últimos tiempos(B) algunos se apartarán de la fe, prestando atención a espíritus engañadores(C) y a doctrinas de demonios(D), 2 mediante la hipocresía de mentirosos que tienen cauterizada la conciencia(E). 3 Esos prohibirán casarse(F) y mandarán abstenerse de algunos alimentos(G), que Dios los ha creado(H) para que con acción de gracias(I) participen de ellos los que creen y que han conocido la verdad. 4 Porque todo lo creado por Dios(J) es bueno y nada se debe rechazar si se recibe con acción de gracias(K); 5 porque es santificado mediante la palabra de Dios(L) y la oración.
El buen ministro de Cristo
6 Al señalar estas cosas a los hermanos(M) serás un buen ministro(N) de Cristo Jesús, nutrido con las palabras de la fe y de la buena doctrina(O) que has seguido(P). 7 Pero nada tengas que ver con las fábulas(Q) profanas(R) propias de viejas. Más bien disciplínate a ti mismo[a] para la piedad(S). 8 Porque el ejercicio físico(T) aprovecha poco, pero la piedad(U) es provechosa para todo, pues tiene promesa(V) para la vida presente(W) y también para la futura. 9 Palabra fiel es esta(X), y digna de ser aceptada por todos[b]. 10 Porque por esto trabajamos y nos esforzamos, porque hemos puesto nuestra esperanza(Y) en el Dios vivo(Z), que es el Salvador de todos los hombres(AA), especialmente de los creyentes. 11 Esto manda y enseña[c](AB). 12 No permitas(AC) que nadie menosprecie tu juventud, sino sé ejemplo de[d] los creyentes(AD) en palabra, conducta, amor, fe y pureza(AE). 13 Entretanto que llego[e](AF), ocúpate en la lectura[f](AG) de las Escrituras, la exhortación y la enseñanza. 14 No descuides el don espiritual que está en ti, que te fue conferido por medio de la profecía(AH) con la imposición de manos(AI) del presbiterio[g](AJ). 15 Reflexiona sobre estas cosas; dedícate a ellas, para que tu aprovechamiento sea evidente a todos. 16 Ten cuidado de ti mismo(AK) y de la enseñanza. Persevera en estas cosas, porque haciéndolo asegurarás la salvación tanto para ti mismo como para los que te escuchan[h](AL).

Predicción de la apostasía
4 Pero el Espíritu dice claramente que en los postreros tiempos algunos apostatarán de la fe, escuchando a espíritus engañadores y a doctrinas de demonios; 2 por la hipocresía de mentirosos que, teniendo cauterizada la conciencia, 3 prohibirán casarse, y mandarán abstenerse de alimentos que Dios creó para que con acción de gracias participasen de ellos los creyentes y los que han conocido la verdad. 4 Porque todo lo que Dios creó es bueno, y nada es de desecharse, si se toma con acción de gracias; 5 porque por la palabra de Dios y por la oración es santificado.
Un buen ministro de Jesucristo
6 Si esto enseñas a los hermanos, serás buen ministro de Jesucristo, nutrido con las palabras de la fe y de la buena doctrina que has seguido. 7 Desecha las fábulas profanas y de viejas. Ejercítate para la piedad; 8 porque el ejercicio corporal para poco es provechoso, pero la piedad para todo aprovecha, pues tiene promesa de esta vida presente, y de la venidera. 9 Palabra fiel es esta, y digna de ser recibida por todos. 10 Que por esto mismo trabajamos y sufrimos oprobios, porque esperamos en el Dios viviente, que es el Salvador de todos los hombres, mayormente de los que creen.
11 Esto manda y enseña. 12 Ninguno tenga en poco tu juventud, sino sé ejemplo de los creyentes en palabra, conducta, amor, espíritu, fe y pureza. 13 Entre tanto que voy, ocúpate en la lectura, la exhortación y la enseñanza. 14 No descuides el don que hay en ti, que te fue dado mediante profecía con la imposición de las manos del presbiterio. 15 Ocúpate en estas cosas; permanece en ellas, para que tu aprovechamiento sea manifiesto a todos. 16 Ten cuidado de ti mismo y de la doctrina; persiste en ello, pues haciendo esto, te salvarás a ti mismo y a los que te oyeren.
1 Timothy 4
King James Version
1 Timothy 4
King James Version
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, 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 acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

4 The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some people will turn away from the faith. They will pay attention to spirits that deceive and to the teaching of demons. 2 They will be controlled by the pretense of lying, and their own consciences will be seared. 3 They will prohibit marriage and eating foods that God created—and he intended them to be accepted with thanksgiving by those who are faithful and have come to know the truth. 4 Everything that has been created by God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected. 5 These things are made holy by God’s word and prayer. 6 If you point these things out to the believers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus who has been trained by the words of faith and the good teaching that you’ve carefully followed. 7 But stay away from the godless myths that are passed down from the older women.
Practices of spiritual leadership
Train yourself for a holy life! 8 While physical training has some value, training in holy living is useful for everything. It has promise for this life now and the life to come. 9 This saying is reliable and deserves complete acceptance. 10 We work and struggle for this: “Our hope is set on the living God, who is the savior of all people, especially those who believe.” 11 Command these things. Teach them. 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Instead, set an example for the believers through your speech, behavior, love, faith, and by being sexually pure. 13 Until I arrive, pay attention to public reading, preaching, and teaching. 14 Don’t neglect the spiritual gift in you that was given through prophecy when the elders laid hands on you. 15 Practice these things, and live by them so that your progress will be visible to all. 16 Focus on working on your own development and on what you teach. If you do this, you will save yourself and those who hear you.

4 The Spirit(A) clearly says that in later times(B) some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits(C) and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.(D) 3 They forbid people to marry(E) and order them to abstain from certain foods,(F) which God created(G) to be received with thanksgiving(H) by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good,(I) and nothing is to be rejected(J) if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God(K) and prayer.
6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith(L) and of the good teaching that you have followed.(M) 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;(N) rather, train yourself to be godly.(O) 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,(P) holding promise for both the present life(Q) and the life to come.(R) 9 This is a trustworthy saying(S) that deserves full acceptance. 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God,(T) who is the Savior of all people,(U) and especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach these things.(V) 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you(W) because you are young, but set an example(X) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith(Y) and in purity. 13 Until I come,(Z) devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture,(AA) to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy(AB) when the body of elders(AC) laid their hands on you.(AD)
15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save(AE) both yourself and your hearers.
