1 Timoteo 4

Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—

EMPERO el Espíritu dice manifiestamente, que en los venideros tiempos algunos apostatarán de la fe, escuchando á espíritus de error y á doctrinas de demonios;

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, †of demons cauterised in their own conscience,—

Que con hipocresía hablarán mentira, teniendo cauterizada la conciencia.

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,

Forbidding to marry, †commanding to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;

Que prohibirán casarse, y mandarán abstenerse de las viandas que Dios crió para que con hacimiento de gracias participasen de ellas los fieles, y los que han conocido la verdad.

Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received,—

Porque todo lo que Dios crió es bueno, y nada hay que desechar, tomándose con hacimiento de gracias:

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,

Porque por la palabra de Dios y por la oración es santificado.

For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.

Si esto propusieres á los hermanos, serás buen ministro de Jesucristo, criado en las palabras de la fe y de la buena doctrina, la cual has alcanzado.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;

Mas las fábulas profanas y de viejas desecha, y ejercítate para la piedad.

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable,—having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.

Porque el ejercicio corporal para poco es provechoso; mas la piedad para todo aprovecha, pues tiene promesa de esta vida presente, y de la venidera.

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.

Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;

Palabra fiel es esta, y digna de ser recibida de todos.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.

For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.

Que por esto aun trabajamos y sufrimos oprobios, porque esperamos en el Dios viviente, el cual es Salvador de todos los hombres, mayormente de los que creen.

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful,—in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.

Ninguno tenga en poco tu juventud; pero sé ejemplo de los fieles en palabra, en conversación, en caridad, en espíritu, en fe, en limpieza.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:

Entre tanto que voy, ocúpate en leer, en exhortar, en enseñar.

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.

No descuides el don que está en ti, que te es dado por profecía con la imposición de las manos del presbiterio.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
