GNT

1 τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ῥητῶς λέγει ὅτι ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως, προσέχοντες πνεύμασιν πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων,

2 ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων, κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν,

3 κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων ἃ ὁ θεὸς ἔκτισεν εἰς μετάλημψιν μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν.

4 ὅτι πᾶν κτίσμα θεοῦ καλόν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον,

5 ἁγιάζεται γὰρ διὰ λόγου θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως.

6 ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καλὸς ἔσῃ διάκονος χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ, ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας·

7 τοὺς δὲ βεβήλους καὶ γραώδεις μύθους παραιτοῦ. γύμναζε δὲ σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν·

8 ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος, ἡ δὲ εὐσέβεια πρὸς πάντα ὠφέλιμός ἐστιν, ἐπαγγελίαν ἔχουσα ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καὶ τῆς μελλούσης.

9 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος·

10 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ κοπιῶμεν καὶ ἀγωνιζόμεθα, ὅτι ἠλπίκαμεν ἐπὶ θεῶ ζῶντι, ὅς ἐστιν σωτὴρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων, μάλιστα πιστῶν.

11 παράγγελλε ταῦτα καὶ δίδασκε.

12 μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ.

13 ἕως ἔρχομαι πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ.

14 μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος, ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου.

15 ταῦτα μελέτα, ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι, ἵνα σου ἡ προκοπὴ φανερὰ ᾖ πᾶσιν.

16 ἔπεχε σεαυτῶ καὶ τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ· ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου.

1  Now¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ speaketh³⁰⁰⁴ expressly,⁴⁴⁹⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² the latter⁵³⁰⁶ times²⁵⁴⁰ some⁵¹⁰⁰ shall depart⁸⁶⁸ from the³⁵⁸⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² giving heed⁴³³⁷ to seducing⁴¹⁰⁸ spirits,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² doctrines¹³¹⁹ of devils;¹¹⁴⁰

2  Speaking lies⁵⁵⁷³ in¹⁷²² hypocrisy;⁵²⁷² having their²³⁹⁸ conscience⁴⁸⁹³ seared with a hot iron;²⁷⁴³

3  Forbidding²⁹⁶⁷ to marry,¹⁰⁶⁰ and commanding to abstain⁵⁶⁷ from meats,¹⁰³³ which³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath created²⁹³⁶ to be received^{1519 3336} with³³²⁶ thanksgiving²¹⁶⁹ of them which believe⁴¹⁰³ and²⁵³² know¹⁹²¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth.²²⁵

4  For³⁷⁵⁴ every³⁹⁵⁶ creature²⁹³⁸ of God²³¹⁶ is good,²⁵⁷⁰ and²⁵³² nothing³⁷⁶² to be refused,⁵⁷⁹ if it be received²⁹⁸³ with³³²⁶ thanksgiving:²¹⁶⁹

5  For¹⁰⁶³ it is sanctified³⁷ by¹²²³ the word³⁰⁵⁶ of God²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² prayer.¹⁷⁸³

6  If thou put the brethren in remembrance^{5294 3588 80} of these things,⁵⁰²³ thou shalt be²⁰⁷¹ a good²⁵⁷⁰ minister¹²⁴⁹ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ nourished up¹⁷⁸⁹ in the³⁵⁸⁸ words³⁰⁵⁶ of faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² of good²⁵⁷⁰ doctrine,¹³¹⁹ whereunto³⁷³⁹ thou hast attained.³⁸⁷⁷

7  But¹¹⁶¹ refuse³⁸⁶⁸ profane⁹⁵² and²⁵³² old wives'¹¹²⁶ fables,³⁴⁵⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ exercise¹¹²⁸ thyself⁴⁵⁷² rather unto⁴³¹⁴ godliness.²¹⁵⁰

8  For¹⁰⁶³ bodily⁴⁹⁸⁴ exercise¹¹²⁹ profiteth^{2076 5624} little:³⁶⁴¹ but¹¹⁶¹ godliness²¹⁵⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ profitable⁵⁶²⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ all things,³⁹⁵⁶ having²¹⁹² promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of the life²²²² that now is,³⁵⁶⁸ and²⁵³² of that which is to come.³¹⁹⁵

9  This is a faithful⁴¹⁰³ saying³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² worthy⁵¹⁴ of all³⁹⁵⁶ acceptation.⁵⁹⁴

10  For¹⁰⁶³ therefore^{1519 5124} we both²⁵³² labor²⁸⁷² and²⁵³² suffer reproach,³⁶⁷⁹ because³⁷⁵⁴ we trust¹⁶⁷⁹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the living²¹⁹⁸ God,²³¹⁶ who³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ the Savior⁴⁹⁹⁰ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men,⁴⁴⁴ especially³¹²² of those that believe.⁴¹⁰³

11  These things⁵⁰²³ command³⁸⁵³ and²⁵³² teach.¹³²¹

12  Let no man³³⁶⁷ despise²⁷⁰⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ youth;³⁵⁰³ but²³⁵ be¹⁰⁹⁶ thou an example⁵¹⁷⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ believers,⁴¹⁰³ in¹⁷²² word,³⁰⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² conversation,³⁹¹ in¹⁷²² charity,²⁶ in¹⁷²² spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ in¹⁷²² faith,⁴¹⁰² in¹⁷²² purity.⁴⁷

13  Till²¹⁹³ I come,²⁰⁶⁴ give attendance⁴³³⁷ to reading,³²⁰ to exhortation,³⁸⁷⁴ to doctrine.¹³¹⁹

14  Neglect²⁷² not³³⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gift⁵⁴⁸⁶ that is in¹⁷²² thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ which³⁷³⁹ was given¹³²⁵ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ by¹²²³ prophecy,⁴³⁹⁴ with³³²⁶ the laying on¹⁹³⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ presbytery.⁴²⁴⁴

15  Meditate upon³¹⁹¹ these things;⁵⁰²³ give thyself wholly²⁴⁶⁸ to¹⁷²² them;⁵¹²⁵ that²⁴⁴³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ profiting⁴²⁹⁷ may appear^{5600 5318} to¹⁷²² all.³⁹⁵⁶

16  Take heed¹⁹⁰⁷ unto thyself,⁴⁵⁷² and²⁵³² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ doctrine;¹³¹⁹ continue¹⁹⁶¹ in them:⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ in doing⁴¹⁶⁰ this⁵¹²⁴ thou shalt both²⁵³² save⁴⁹⁸² thyself,⁴⁵⁷² and²⁵³² them that hear¹⁹¹ thee.⁴⁶⁷⁵

Vul

1 Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,

2 in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,

3 prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.

4 Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:

5 sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.

6 Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.

7 Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.

8 Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.

9 Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.

10 In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.

11 Præcipe hæc, et doce.

12 Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.

13 Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.

14 Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.

15 Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.

16 Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
