1 Timothy Chapter 4
The Spirit’s dropping knowledge, saying that in the last days, some are gonna bounce from the faith, vibing with some sus spirits and devilish energy.
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;
They’re out here straight-up lying and acting all phony; their conscience is like burnt toast, for real.
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
They’re claiming no marriage and trying to ban good food, but God made everything to be enjoyed by those who get it.
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.
Every creature God crafted is solid, and nothing’s off limits if you’re grateful, periodt.
For every creature of God {is} good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
It’s all blessed through God’s word and prayer, no cap.
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
If you put the squad on to this knowledge, you’ll be a dope minister of Jesus, fueled by the words of faith and solid teachings you’ve picked up.
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.
But ditch the fake tales and old wives’ gossip; focus on your godliness, that’s the real flex.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself {rather} unto godliness.
Hitting the gym is cool, but godliness is the real deal, bringing promises for now and the future.
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. {little: or, for a little time}
This truth hits different and everyone should vibe with it.
This {is} a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
That’s why we hustle and take the hits, 'cause we believe in the living God, who’s the GOAT for all, especially the believers.
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.
Keep it 100 and teach these truths, fam.
These things command and teach.
Don’t let anyone sleep on your youth; be the role model for the crew in your words, chats, love, spirit, faith, and purity.
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.
Until I pull up, focus on reading, inspiring, and teaching.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Don’t overlook the gift within you, given by prophecy and the laying on of hands from the elders.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Meditate on these things; go all in with them; then your growth will be evident to everyone.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. {to all: or, in all things}
Stay sharp and pay attention to the teachings; keep at it: doing this will save you and those who hear you, no cap.
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.
