• 41 Now 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. 2 These people
  are hypocrites and liars, seared in their
  conscience as with a branding iron.

3

• 3 They 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. 4 Since everything God
  created is good, we should not reject any of it
  but receive it with thanks. 5 For we know it is
  made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.

• 6 If you explain these things to the brothers
  and sisters, Timothy, you well be a worthy
  servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by
  the message of faith and the good teaching you
  have followed. 7 Do not waste time arguing over
  godless ideas and old wives tales.

• Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8
  Physical training is good, but training for
  godliness is much better, promising benefits in
  this life and in the life to come. 9 This is a
  trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept
  it. 10 This 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.
