1Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,
2influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
3They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,
5because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
— 1 Timothy 4:1-5
