Some Will Fall Away
4 But (A)the Spirit explicitly says that (B)in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to (C)deceitful spirits and (D)doctrines of demons, 2 by the hypocrisy of liars, who have been (E)seared in their own conscience, 3 who (F)forbid marriage and advocate (G)abstaining from foods which (H)God created to be shared in (I)with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For (J)everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is (K)received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified by (L)the word of God and prayer.

False Asceticism
4 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later[a] times some will renounce[b] the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,(A) 2 through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. 3 They forbid marriage and abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.(B) 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving,(C) 5 for it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer.
