1. But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons
2. speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,
3. forbidding to marry, bidding to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth.
4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;
5. for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing him.
6. Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.
