1 Timothy 4

Prediction of Apostasy
1#Jn 16:13; 2Pe 3:3Now the Spirit clearly says that in the last times some will depart from the faith and pay attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, 2#Eph 4:19speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consciences seared with a hot iron, 3#Ro 14:6; Heb 13:4forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4#Ge 1:31; Ro 14:14For everything created by God is good, and not to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving, 5for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Minister of Christ Jesus
6#1Ti 1:10If you remind the brothers of these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, which you have followed closely. 7#1Ti 1:4; 2Ti 2:16; Heb 5:14But refuse profane and foolish myths. Instead, exercise in the ways of godliness. 8#Mt 6:33; 1Ti 6:6For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable in all things, holding promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 9#1Ti 1:15This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10#1Ti 2:4; 3:15For 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.
11#1Ti 6:2; 5:7Command and teach these things. 12#2Ti 2:22; Titus 2:7Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity. 13Until I come, give attention to reading, exhortation, and doctrine. 14#2Ti 1:6; Ac 6:6; 1Ti 1:18Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of hands by the elders.
15Meditate on these things. Give yourself completely to them, that your progress may be known to everyone. 16#Titus 2:7; Ro 11:14Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
