4:1 But the Spirit saith openly, that in the last times some men shall depart from the faith [Forsooth the Spirit saith openly, for in the last times some shall depart from the faith], giving attention to spirits of error, and to teachings of devils; 4:2 that speak lying in hypocrisy, and have their conscience corrupted. [in hypocrisy speaking lying, and having their conscience burnt, or corrupted .] 4:3 forbidding to be wedded [forbidding to wed], and to abstain from meats, which God made to take with doing of thankings, to faithful men, and them that have known the truth. 4:4 For each creature of God is good, and nothing is to be cast away, which is taken with doing of thankings; 4:5 for it is hallowed by the word of God, and by prayer. [forsooth it is hallowed by the word of God, and prayer.] 4:6 Thou putting forth these things to brethren, shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus; nourished with words of faith and of good doctrine, which thou hast gotten [in following]. 4:7 But eschew thou unsuitable fables [Forsooth shun thou uncovenable fables], and old women's fables ; haunt thyself to piety. 4:8 For bodily exercitation is profitable to little thing; but piety is profitable to all things, that hath a promise of life that now is [having promise of life that now is], and that is to come. 4:9 A true word, and worthy all acceptation [and worthy all acception]. 4:10 And in this thing we travail, and be cursed, for we hope in living God, that is Saviour of all men, most(ly) of faithful men. 4:11 Command thou this thing, and teach. 4:12 No man despise thy youth, but be thou ensample of faithful men in word [but be thou example of faithful men in word], in living, in charity, in faith, in chastity. 4:13 Till I come, take attention to reading, to exhortation and teaching. 4:14 Do not thou little care (for) the grace which is in thee [Do not thou despise, or little charge , the grace that is in thee], that is given to thee by prophecy, with putting on of the hands of [the] priesthood. 4:15 Think thou (on) these things, in these be thou, that thy profiting be showed to all men. 4:16 Take attention to thyself and to doctrine; be busy in them. For thou doing these things, shalt make both thyself safe, and them that hear thee.
