Warnings against False Teachers

4Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.G1161G4151G3004G4490G3754G1722G5306G2540G5100G868G4102G4337G4108G4151G2532G1319G1140 2These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.G5573G1722G5272G2743G2398G4893G2743 3They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.G2967G1060G567G1033G3739G2316G2936G1519G3336G3326G2169G4103G2532G1921G225 4Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.G3754G3956G2938G2316G2570G2532G3762G579G2983G3326G2169 5For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.G1063G37G1223G3056G2316G2532G1783

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

6If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed.G5294G80G5294G5023G2071G2570G1249G2424G5547G1789G3056G4102G2532G2570G1319G3739G3877 7Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives' tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.G1161G3868G952G2532G1126G3454G1161G1128G4572G4314G2150 8"Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come."G1063G4984G1129G2076G5624G4314G3641G1161G2150G2076G5624G4314G3956G2192G1860G2222G3568G2532G3195 9This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it.G4103G3056G2532G514G3956G594 10This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.G1063G1519G5124G2872G2532G2872G2532G3679G3754G1679G1909G2198G2316G3739G2076G4990G3956G444G3122G4103 11Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them.G5023G3853G2532G1321 12Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.G2706G3367G2706G4675G3503G235G1096G5179G4103G1722G3056G1722G391G1722G26G1722G4151G1722G4102G1722G47 13Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.G2193G2064G4337G320G3874G1319 14Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.G272G3361G5486G1722G4671G3739G1325G4671G1223G4394G3326G1936G5495G4244 15Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.G3191G5023G2468G1722G5125G2443G4675G4297G5600G5318G1722G3956 16Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.G1907G4572G2532G1319G1961G846G1063G4160G5124G4982G2532G4982G4572G2532G191G4675
