The Great Apostasy
1 Now the Spirit1 expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed ato deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 aspeaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience bseared with a hot iron,
3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;
5 for it is1 sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, anourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.
7 But areject profane and old wives’ fables, and bexercise yourself toward godliness.
8 For abodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, bhaving promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
