1 Timothy 4

1Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

το δε πνευμα ρητως λεγει οτι εν υστεροις καιροις αποστησονται τινες της πιστεως, προσεχοντες πνευμασιν πλανοις και διδασκαλιαις δαιμονιων,

2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων, κεκαυστηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν,

3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

κωλυοντων γαμειν, απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεος εκτισεν εις μεταληψιν μετα ευχαριστιας τοις πιστοις και επεγνωκοσιν την αληθειαν.

4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;

οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον, και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιας λαμβανομενον·

5for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεως.

6If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις καλος εση διακονος ιησου χριστου, εντρεφομενος τοις λογοις της πιστεως και της καλης διδασκαλιας η παρηκολουθηκας.

7But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.

τους δε βεβηλους και γραωδεις μυθους παραιτου, γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προς ευσεβειαν·

8For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

η γαρ σωματικη γυμνασια προς ολιγον εστιν ωφελιμος, η δε ευσεβεια προς παντα ωφελιμος εστιν, επαγγελιας εχουσα ζωης της νυν και της μελλουσης.

9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος·

10For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

εις τουτο γαρ και κοπιωμεν και ονειδιζομεθα, οτι ηλπικαμεν επι θεω ζωντι, ος εστιν σωτηρ παντων ανθρωπων, μαλιστα πιστων.

11These things command and teach.

παραγγελλε ταυτα και διδασκε.

12Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

μηδεις σου της νεοτητος καταφρονειτω, αλλα τυπος γινου των πιστων εν λογω, εν αναστροφη, εν αγαπη, εν πνευματι, εν πιστει, εν αγνεια.

13Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

εως ερχομαι προσεχε τη αναγνωσει, τη παρακλησει, τη διδασκαλια.

14Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

μη αμελει του εν σοι χαρισματος, ο εδοθη σοι δια προφητειας μετα επιθεσεως των χειρων του πρεσβυτεριου.

15Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

ταυτα μελετα, εν τουτοις ισθι, ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η εν πασιν.

16Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια, επιμενε αυτοις· τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεις και τους ακουοντας σου.
