1 Timothy 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions	1 Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus seductoribus et doctrinis daemoniorum,
2 through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences.	2 in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
3 They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.	3 prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quos Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus et his, qui cognoverunt veritatem.
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving,	4 Quia omnis creatura Dei bona, et nihil reiciendum, quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur;
5 for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer.	5 sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei et orationem.
6 If you will give these instructions to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching you have followed.	6 Haec proponens fratribus bonus eris minister Christi Iesu, enutritus verbis fidei et bonae doctrinae, quam assecutus es;
7 Avoid profane and silly myths. Train yourself for devotion,	7 profanas autem et aniles fabulas devita. Exerce teipsum ad pietatem;
8 for, while physical training is of limited value, devotion is valuable in every respect, since it holds a promise of life both for the present and for the future.	8 nam corporalis exercitatio ad modicum utilis est, pietas autem ad omnia utilis est promissionem habens vitae, quae nunc est, et futurae.
9 This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.	9 Fidelis sermo et omni acceptione dignus:
10 For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe.	10 in hoc enim laboramus et certamus, quia sperantes sumus in Deum vivum, qui est salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
11 Command and teach these things.	11 Praecipe haec et doce.
12 Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.	12 Nemo adulescentiam tuam contemnat; sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.
13 Until I arrive, attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching.	13 Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, doctrinae.
14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate.	14 Noli neglegere donationem, quae in te est, quae data est tibi per prophetiam cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
15 Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to everyone.	15 Haec meditare, in his esto, ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
16 Attend to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.	16 Attende tibi et doctrinae; insta in illis; hoc enim faciens et teipsum salvum facies et eos, qui te audiunt.
