1 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" Spirit|strong="G4151" saith|strong="G3004" expressly|strong="G4490", that|strong="G3754" in|strong="G1722" later|strong="G5306" times|strong="G2540" some|strong="G5100" shall|strong="G2532" fall away from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102", giving|strong="G4337" heed|strong="G4337" to|strong="G2532" seducing|strong="G4108" spirits|strong="G4151" and|strong="G2532" doctrines|strong="G1319" of|strong="G4151" demons|strong="G1140",
2 through|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" hypocrisy|strong="G5272" of|strong="G1722" men|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" speak lies|strong="G5573", branded in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G1722" own|strong="G2398" conscience|strong="G4893" as|strong="G1722" with|strong="G1722" a|strong="G1722" hot iron|strong="G2743";
3 forbidding|strong="G2967" to|strong="G1519" marry|strong="G1060", and commanding to|strong="G1519" abstain from|strong="G2532" meats|strong="G1033", which|strong="G3739" God|strong="G2316" created|strong="G2936" to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2532" received|strong="G3336" with|strong="G3326" thanksgiving|strong="G2169" by|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" believe|strong="G4103" and|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1921" the|strong="G2532" truth.
4 For|strong="G3754" every|strong="G3956" creature|strong="G2938" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G2316" good|strong="G2570", and|strong="G2532" nothing|strong="G3762" is|strong="G2316" to|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" rejected, if|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" received|strong="G2983" with|strong="G3326" thanksgiving|strong="G2169":
5 for|strong="G1063" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G2316" sanctified through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" prayer|strong="G1783".
6 If|strong="G2532" thou|strong="G3739" put|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" brethren|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" mind|strong="G2532" of|strong="G3056" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778", thou|strong="G3739" shalt|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2570" minister|strong="G1249" of|strong="G3056" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", nourished|strong="G1789" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" words|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G2532" good|strong="G2570" doctrine|strong="G1319" which|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G3739" hast|strong="G2532" followed|strong="G3877" until now:
7 but|strong="G1161" refuse|strong="G3868" profane and|strong="G2532" old|strong="G2532" wives’ fables|strong="G3454". And|strong="G2532" exercise|strong="G1128" thyself|strong="G4572" unto|strong="G4314" godliness|strong="G2150":
8 for|strong="G1063" bodily|strong="G4984" exercise|strong="G1129" is|strong="G1510" profitable|strong="G5624" for|strong="G1063" a|strong="G2192" little|strong="G3641"; but|strong="G1161" godliness|strong="G2150" is|strong="G1510" profitable|strong="G5624" for|strong="G1063" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956", having|strong="G2192" promise|strong="G1860" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" life|strong="G2222" which|strong="G3588" now|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510", and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" to|strong="G4314" come|strong="G3195".
9 Faithful|strong="G4103" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" saying|strong="G3056", and|strong="G2532" worthy of|strong="G3056" all|strong="G3956" acceptation.
10 For|strong="G1063" to|strong="G1519" this|strong="G3778" end|strong="G1519" we|strong="G3739" both|strong="G2532" labor|strong="G2872" and|strong="G2532" suffer|strong="G2532" reproach|strong="G3679", because|strong="G3754" we|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2316" hope|strong="G1679" set|strong="G1679" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" living|strong="G2198" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Savior|strong="G4990" of|strong="G2316" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956", especially|strong="G3122" of|strong="G2316" them|strong="G3739" that|strong="G3754" believe|strong="G4103".

15 Be|strong="G1510" diligent in|strong="G1722" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3956"; give|strong="G3956" thyself wholly to|strong="G2443" them|strong="G3588"; that|strong="G2443" thy|strong="G3588" progress|strong="G4297" may|strong="G2443" be|strong="G1510" manifest|strong="G5318" unto|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956".
16 Take|strong="G2532" heed to|strong="G2532" thyself|strong="G4572", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" thy|strong="G3588" teaching|strong="G1319".
