Seeker Overlay ON

* Howbeit , the Spirit , expressly saiththat , in later seasons , some will revolt from the faith , giving heed unto seducing spirits , and unto teachings of demons * in hypocrisy , speaking falsehood , cauterised in their own conscience , * Forbidding to marry , to abstain from foods which , God , created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth ; * Because , every creature of God , is good , and nothing to be cast away , if , with thanksgiving , it be received , * For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession , * These things , submitting to the brethren , thou shall be , a noble , minister of Christ Jesus , nourishing thyself with the words of the faith , and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied . * But , from the profane and old-wives stories , excuse thyself , and be training thyself unto godliness ; * For , the bodily training , for little , is profitable , whereas , godliness , for all things is profitable , having , promise , of lifethe present and the coming . * Faithful , the saying ! and , of all acceptance , worthy ; * For , to this end , are we toiling and contending , because we have set our hope on a Living God , Who is Saviour of all menspecially , of such as believe . * Be giving these things in charge , and be teaching : * Let , no one , despise , thy youth , but , an ensample , become thou of the faithful , in discourse , in behaviour , in love , in faith , in chastity . * While I am coming , be giving heedto the reading , to the exhorting , to the teaching : * Be not careless of the gift of favour , that is in thee , which was given thee through means of prophesying , along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership . * These things , be thy care , in these things , be thou , that , thine advancement , may be , manifest , unto all : * Be giving heed to thyself , and to thy teaching , abide still in them ; for , this doing , both , thyself , shalt thou save , and them that hearken to thee .
