Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1το δε πνευμα ρητωσ λεγει οτι εν υστεροισ καιροισ αποστησονται τινεσ τησ πιστεωσ προσεχοντεσ πνευμασιν πλανοισ και διδασκαλιαισ δαιμονιων
2through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
2εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων κεκαυτηριασμενων την ιδιαν συνειδησιν
3forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
3κωλυοντων γαμειν απεχεσθαι βρωματων α ο θεοσ εκτισεν εισ μεταληψιν μετα ευχαριστιασ τοισ πιστοισ και επεγνωκοσιν την αληθειαν
4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
4οτι παν κτισμα θεου καλον και ουδεν αποβλητον μετα ευχαριστιασ λαμβανομενον
5For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
5αγιαζεται γαρ δια λογου θεου και εντευξεωσ
6If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
6ταυτα υποτιθεμενοσ τοισ αδελφοισ καλοσ εση διακονοσ ιησου χριστου εντρεφομενοσ τοισ λογοισ τησ πιστεωσ και τησ καλησ διδασκαλιασ η παρηκολουθηκασ
7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
7τουσ δε βεβηλουσ και γραωδεισ μυθουσ παραιτου γυμναζε δε σεαυτον προσ ευσεβειαν
8For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
8η γαρ σωματικη γυμνασια προσ ολιγον εστιν ωφελιμοσ η δε ευσεβεια προσ παντα ωφελιμοσ εστιν επαγγελιαν εχουσα ζωησ τησ νυν και τησ μελλουσησ
9This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
9πιστοσ ο λογοσ και πασησ αποδοχησ αξιοσ
10For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
10εισ τουτο γαρ και κοπιωμεν και ονειδιζομεθα οτι ηλπικαμεν επι θεω ζωντι οσ εστιν σωτηρ παντων ανθρωπων μαλιστα πιστων
11Command and teach these things.
11παραγγελλε ταυτα και διδασκε
12Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
12μηδεισ σου τησ νεοτητοσ καταφρονειτω αλλα τυποσ γινου των πιστων εν λογω εν αναστροφη εν αγαπη εν πνευματι εν πιστει εν αγνεια
13Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
13εωσ ερχομαι προσεχε τη αναγνωσει τη παρακλησει τη διδασκαλια
14Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
14μη αμελει του εν σοι χαρισματοσ ο εδοθη σοι δια προφητειασ μετα επιθεσεωσ των χειρων του πρεσβυτεριου
15Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
15ταυτα μελετα εν τουτοισ ισθι ινα σου η προκοπη φανερα η εν πασιν
16Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
16επεχε σεαυτω και τη διδασκαλια επιμενε αυτοισ τουτο γαρ ποιων και σεαυτον σωσεισ και τουσ ακουοντασ σου
