1 Timothy 4

Paul warns Timothy that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, which forbid marriage and command abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving. He instructs Timothy as a good servant to point out these things, train himself in godliness, avoid irreverent myths, and persist in reading, exhortation, and teaching while setting an example for believers.
