Forbidding

Neither will he honor the gods of his father's, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god for he will magnify himself above them all.

If you marry you have not sinned. If a virgin marries she has not sinned. Those who marry will face many problems in this life and I want to spare you.

Let marriage be honorable among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled: for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

To abstain

Let the one eating not look down on the one not eating. Let the one who does not eat judge him that eats, for God has received him.

But food will not recommend us to God. If we do not eat we are not worse. If we eat we are not better.

Do not be carried away by varied (different) and strange teachings. It is good that the heart is established by grace and not by food. Those who are occupied by them are not benefited.

With

He who regards the day regards it to God and he who does not regard the day does not regard it to God. He, who eats, eats to God, for he gives God thanks. He who does not eat does not eat to God and he gives God thanks.

For if I by grace am a partaker, why is evil spoken about me concerning that for which I give thanks?

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through him.

Believe

It is God's desire that all men have salvation and come to the full (precise) (accurate) (correct) knowledge (Greek: epignosis: recognition, discernment) of the truth.

Jesus told the Jews who believed him: If you dwell in my word you truly are my disciples.

We always have to thank God for you, brothers. Jehovah loves you and we thank God that in the beginning he chose you to be saved through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
