| 1 | Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, |
|
Τὸδὲπνεῦμαρητῶςλέγειότιενυστέροιςκαιροῖςαποστήσονταίτινεςτῆςπίστεως,προσέχοντεςπνεύμασινπλάνοιςκαὶδιδασκαλίαιςδαιμονίων,
|
|
| 2 | speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, |
|
ενυποκρίσειψευδολόγων,κεκαυστηριασμένωντὴνιδίανσυνείδησιν,
|
|
| 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. |
|
κωλυόντωνγαμεῖν,απέχεσθαιβρωμάτωνὰοθεὸςέκτισενειςμετάλημψινμετὰευχαριστίαςτοῖςπιστοῖςκαὶεπεγνωκόσιτὴναλήθειαν.
|
|
| 4 | For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; |
|
ότιπᾶνκτίσμαθεοῦκαλόν,καὶουδὲναπόβλητονμετὰευχαριστίαςλαμβανόμενον,
|
|
| 5 | for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. |
|
αγιάζεταιγὰρδιὰλόγουθεοῦκαὶεντεύξεως.
|
|
| 6 | If 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. |
|
ΤαῦταυποτιθέμενοςτοῖςαδελφοῖςκαλὸςέσηδιάκονοςΧριστοῦΙησοῦ,εντρεφόμενοςτοῖςλόγοιςτῆςπίστεωςκαὶτῆςκαλῆςδιδασκαλίαςῆπαρηκολούθηκας·
|
|
| 7 | But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. |
|
τοὺςδὲβεβήλουςκαὶγραώδειςμύθουςπαραιτοῦ.γύμναζεδὲσεαυτὸνπρὸςευσέβειαν·
|
|
| 8 | For 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. |
|
ηγὰρσωματικὴγυμνασίαπρὸςολίγονεστὶνωφέλιμος,ηδὲευσέβειαπρὸςπάνταωφέλιμόςεστιν,επαγγελίανέχουσαζωῆςτῆςνῦνκαὶτῆςμελλούσης.
|
|
| 9 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. |
|
πιστὸςολόγοςκαὶπάσηςαποδοχῆςάξιος·
|
|
| 10 | For 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. |
|
ειςτοῦτογὰρκοπιῶμενκαὶαγωνιζόμεθα,ότιηλπίκαμενεπὶθεῶζῶντι,όςεστινσωτὴρπάντωνανθρώπων,μάλισταπιστῶν.
|
|
| 11 | These things command and teach. |
|
Παράγγελλεταῦτακαὶδίδασκε.
|
|
| 12 | Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. |
|
μηδείςσουτῆςνεότητοςκαταφρονείτω,αλλὰτύποςγίνουτῶνπιστῶνενλόγω,εναναστροφῆ,εναγάπη,ενπίστει,εναγνεία.
|
|
| 13 | Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. |
|
έωςέρχομαιπρόσεχετῆαναγνώσει,τῆπαρακλήσει,τῆδιδασκαλία.
|
|
| 14 | Do 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. |
|
μὴαμέλειτοῦενσοὶχαρίσματος,ὸεδόθησοιδιὰπροφητείαςμετὰεπιθέσεωςτῶνχειρῶντοῦπρεσβυτερίου.
|
|
| 15 | Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. |
|
ταῦταμελέτα,εντούτοιςίσθι,ίνασουηπροκοπὴφανερὰῆπᾶσιν.
|
|
| 16 | Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. |
|
έπεχεσεαυτῶκαὶτῆδιδασκαλία·επίμενεαυτοῖς·τοῦτογὰρποιῶνκαὶσεαυτὸνσώσειςκαὶτοὺςακούοντάςσου.
