1 Timothy 4:1-5

Warning Against Future Apostasy

1 Timothy 4:1-5

Warning Against Future Apostasy

1
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,
2
Speaking lies in hypocrisy and having their conscience seared,
3
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.
4
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
5
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
