A Warning About False Teachers
4
1The Spirita clearly says that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe. They will obey spirits that tell lies. And they will follow the teachings of demonsb. 2Those teachings come through people who tell lies and trick others. These evil people cannot see what is right and what is wrong. It is like their conscience has been destroyed with a hot iron. 3They say that it is wrong to marry. And they say that there are some foods that people must not eat. But God made these foods, and those who believe and who understand the truth can eat them with thanks. 4Everything that God made is good. Nothing he made should be refused if it is accepted with thanks to him. 5Everything he created is made holyc by what he has said and by prayer.

Be a Good Servant of Christ Jesus
 6Tell this to the brothers and sisters there. This will show that you are a good servant of Christ Jesus. You will show that you are made strong by the words of faith and good teaching you have followed. 7People tell silly stories that don't agree with God's truth. Don't follow what these stories teach. But teach yourself to be devoted to God. 8Training your body helps you in some ways. But devotion to God helps you in every way. It brings you blessings in this life and in the future life too. 9Here is a true statement that should be accepted without question: 10We hope in the living God, the Savior of all people. In particular, he is the Savior of all those who believe in him. This is why we work and struggle.
 11Command and teach these things. 12You are young, but don't let anyone treat you as if you are not important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them by what you say, by the way you live, by your love, by your faith, and by your pure life.
 13Continue to read the Scripturesd to the people, encourage them, and teach them. Do this until I come. 14Remember to use the gift you have, which was given to you through a prophecye when the group of eldersf laid their hands ong you. 15Continue to do these things. Give your life to doing them. Then everyone can see that your work is progressing. 16Be careful in your life and in your teaching. Continue to live and teach rightly. Then you will save yourself and those who listen to your teaching.
aSpirit See “Holy Spirit.”
bdemon An evil spirit from the devil.
choly When referring to people or things, holy means set apart or chosen for a special use; especially, belonging to God or used only for him. It can also mean pure or perfect, worthy of God and fit for his service. When God is called holy, in addition to the idea of pure and perfect, it often means he is completely separate or different from and above everything else that exists. In the New Testament God’s people are holy because they have been made perfect and pure through Christ and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, keep themselves away from sin and live only for God.
dScripture Part of the Scriptures or “Holy Writings” - the Old Testament.
