1<\/sup>Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>But avoid foolish and old wives' fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>These things command and teach.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n
