1 Timothy 4:1

Verse 1 of 16. The 4th of 6 chapters in 1 Timothy, in The Letters of Paul.

1But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

2through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,

3forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

5For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
