1 Timothy 4:3 in context

  1. 1But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
  2. 2through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
  3. 3forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.
  4. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
  5. 5for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
