1 Timothy 4Amplified Bible (AMP)
Apostasy
4 But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 [misled]
by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a
branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning], 3 who forbid marriage and advocate
abstaining from [certain kinds of] foods which God has created to be
gratefully shared by those who believe and have [a clear] knowledge of
the truth. 4 For everything God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and prayer.
A Good Minister’s Discipline
6 If you point out these instructions to the [a]brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished [through study] on the words of the faith and of the good [Christian] doctrine which you have closely followed.Source: Bible Gateway
