1 Timothy 4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,	¹ Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,
² through the pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared,	² in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
³ who forbid marriage and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.	³ prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.
⁴ For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving;	⁴ Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur :
⁵ for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.	⁵ sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
⁶ If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.	⁶ Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.
⁷ Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourself in godliness;	⁷ Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita : exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
⁸ for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.	⁸ Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est : pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.
⁹ The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance.	⁹ Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
¹⁰ For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.	¹⁰ In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
¹¹ Command and teach these things.	¹¹ Præcipe hæc, et doce.
¹² Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.	¹² Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat : sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.
¹³ Till I come, attend to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching.	¹³ Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.
¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you.	¹⁴ Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
¹⁵ Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.	¹⁵ Hæc meditare, in his esto : ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
¹⁶ Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.	¹⁶ Attende tibi, et doctrinæ : insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
