1 Timothy 4:3-9
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
3who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
6If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.
7Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
8for 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.
9The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.
