Chapter 4

Warnings against False Teachers

1 Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons.
2 These teachers are hypocrites and liars. They pretend to be religious, but their consciences are dead.[1][Greek are seared. ]
        3 They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanksgiving by people who know and believe the truth.
4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it. We may receive it gladly, with thankful hearts.
5 For we know it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
