1إِلَّا أَنَّ الرُّوحَ يُعْلِنُ صَرَاحَةً أَنَّ قَوْماً فِي الأَزْمِنَةِ الأَخِيرَةِ سَوْفَ يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ الإِيمَانِ، مُنْسَاقِينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحٍ مُضَلِّلَةٍ وَتَعَالِيمَ شَيْطَانِيَّةٍ،2فِي مَوْجَةِ رِيَاءٍ يَنْشُرُهَا مُعَلِّمُونَ دَجَّالُونَ لَهُمْ ضَمَائِرُ كُوِيَتْ بِالنَّارِ.3يُحَرِّمُونَ الزَّوَاجَ، وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالامْتِنَاعِ عَنْ أَطْعِمَةٍ خَلَقَهَا اللهُ لِيَتَنَاوَلَهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَعَارِفُو الْحَقِّ شَاكِرِينَ.4فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا خَلَقَهُ اللهُ جَيِّدٌ، وَلا شَيْءَ مِنْهُ يُرْفَضُ إِذَا تَنَاوَلَهُ الإِنْسَانُ شَاكِراً؛5لأَنَّهُ يَصِيرُ مُقَدَّساً بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَالصَّلاةِ.6إِنْ بَسَطْتَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ أَمَامَ الإِخْوَةِ، كُنْتَ خَادِماً صَالِحاً لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، مُتَغَذِّياً بِكَلامِ الإِيمَانِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي اتَّبَعْتَهُ تَمَاماً.7أَمَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْعَجَائِزِ الْمُبْتَذَلَةُ، فَتَجَنَّبْهَا. إِنَّمَا مَرِّنْ نَفْسَكَ فِي طَرِيقِ التَّقْوَى.8فَالرِّيَاضَةُ الْبَدَنِيَّةُ نَافِعَةٌ بَعْضَ الشَّيْءِ. أَمَّا التَّقْوَى فَنَافِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لأَنَّ فِيهَا وَعْداً بِالْحَيَاةِ الْحَاضِرَةِ وَالآتِيَةِ.9مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ!10فَإِنَّنَا لأَجْلِ هَذَا نَعْمَلُ بِاجْتِهَادٍ وَنُقَاسِي التَّعْيِيرَ، لأَنَّنَا وَضَعْنَا رَجَاءَنَا فِي اللهِ الْحَيِّ، حَافِظِ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ، وَبِالأَخَصِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.11أَوْصِ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ وَعَلِّمْ!12لَا يَسْتَخِفْ أَحَدٌ بِحَدَاثَةِ سِنِّكَ. وَإِنَّمَا كُنْ قُدْوَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فِي الْكَلامِ وَالسُّلُوكِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالطَّهَارَةِ.13إِلَى حِينِ وُصُولِي، انْصَرِفْ إِلَى قِرَاءَةِ الْكِتَابِ، وَإِلَى الْوَعْظِ، وَإِلَى التَّعْلِيمِ.14لَا تُهْمِلِ الْمَوْهِبَةَ الْخَاصَّةَ الَّتِي فِيكَ، الَّتِي أُعْطِيَتْ لَكَ بِالتَّنَبُّوءِ وَوَضْعِ الشُّيُوخِ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ.15انْصَرِفْ إِلَى هذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَانْشَغِلْ بِها كُلِّيًّا، لِيَكُونَ تَقَدُّمُكَ وَاضِحاً لِلْجَمِيعِ.16انْتَبِهْ جَيِّداً لِنَفْسِكَ وَلِلتَّعْلِيمِ. فَإِنَّكَ إِذْ تُوَاظِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، تُنْقِذُ نَفْسَكَ وَسَامِعِيكَ أَيْضاً.
New International Version
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.6If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,* you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.7Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.8For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.9This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.10That is why we labour and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all people, and especially of those who believe.11Command and teach these things.12Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.14Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.15Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.16Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
