1 Timothy 4 On Deceiving Spirits CLV 1Ti 4:1 Now the spirit is saying explicitly, that in latter eras [“seasons” – plural so more than one] some will be withdrawing from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons [so these are inspired in each presence], CLV 1Ti 4:2 in the hypocrisy of false expressions [the additions to and changing of God’s Laws], their own conscience having been cauterized [having their sensibilities removed by controlling sheppard’s]; CLV 1Ti 4:3 forbidding to marry [by keeping them from entering a salvation covenant], abstaining from foods [spiritual food from the one who is appointed to feed at the proper time], which God creates to be partaken of with thanksgiving by those who believe [the faithful] and realize the truth [those who discover it], CLV 1Ti 4:4 seeing that every creature of God is ideal and nothing is to be cast away [every vessel is created for His purpose], being taken with thanksgiving [every bite we take whether from the tree of good and evil or the tree of life we should be thankful for it as they are all part of the process of teaching and refining each of us in whatever way we need to graduate this school], CLV 1Ti 4:5 for it [the creation] is made holy through the word of God [the Christ] and pleading [by our mother the Holy Spirit]. CLV 1Ti 4:6 By suggesting these things to the brethren [who are victimized by those who deceive them], you should be an ideal servant of Christ Jesus, fostering with the words of faith and of the ideal teaching which you have fully followed [that being to love our God with our whole heart, mind, soul and strength and to love our brothers as ourselves]. CLV 1Ti 4:7 Now profane and old womanish myths refuse, yet exercise yourself in devoutness [continue in personal bible research despite the oppression of others], CLV 1Ti 4:8 for bodily exercise is beneficial for a few things [physical], yet devoutness is beneficial for all [both physical and spiritual], having promise for the life which now is [for those who are born again and have started their spirit baptism test], and that which is impending [everlasting life in the Kingdom of God if you hold fast]. CLV 1Ti 4:9 Faithful is the word and worthy of all welcome CLV 1Ti 4:10 (for this are we toiling [trying to interpret the word and encouraging others to do so as well] and being reproached [by pretty much everyone!]), that we rely on the living God [not ourselves for we know we can do nothing at all without Him], Who is the Saviour of all mankind [whether good or evil], especially of believers [those of faith who hear Jesus voice (the “life”) and follow it]. CLV 1Ti 4:11 These things be charging and teaching [and we are trying through our websites and limited personal evangelizing].
