1 Timothy 4:1-5 - The Coming Apostasy

¹ Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in latter days there will be some who will fall away from the faith, by listening to spirits of error, and to teachings of demons ² speaking lies in hypocrisy. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron, ³ who discourage marriage, and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thankfulness, by those who believe, and have a clear knowledge of the truth. ⁴ For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness. ⁵ For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
