In Context

1 And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

2 in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own conscience,

3 forbidding to marry — to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,

4 because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,

5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

6 These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,
