1 Timothy 4
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
3prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
4Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:
5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
5sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.
6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
6Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.
7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
7Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.
8For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
8Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.
9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
9Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.
10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
10In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.
11These things command and teach.
11Præcipe hæc, et doce.
12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
12Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.
13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
13Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.
14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
14Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.
15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
15Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.
16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
16Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
