1 Pero el Espíritu dice explícitamente que en los postreros tiempos algunos apostatarán de la fe. Fijarán [la] atención en espíritus engañadores y en enseñanzas relacionadas con demonios,
1 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,
2 por medio de [la] hipocresía de mentirosos cauterizados en su conciencia,
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
3 que prohíben casarse y mandan abstenerse de alimentos que Dios creó para que los creyentes que conocieron la verdad participen de ellos con acción de gracias.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Porque todo lo creado por Dios es bueno y no se debe rechazar si se toma con acción de gracias,
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 porque es santificado por medio de [la] Palabra de Dios y de [la ]conversación con Dios.

6 Cuando enseñes estas cosas a los hermanos serás un buen ministro de Cristo Jesús, porque estás nutrido con las palabras de la fe y de la buena doctrina que seguiste fielmente.
6 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.
7 Pero evita las fábulas profanas de ancianas. Ejercítate en [la ]piedad.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
8 El adiestramiento corporal para poco es provechoso, pero la piedad es provechosa para todo, y tiene promesa de la vida presente y de la que viene.
8 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.
9 Esta palabra es fiel y digna de que todos la prueben.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 Porque para esto trabajamos arduamente y nos esforzamos, pues fijamos la esperanza en [el] Dios viviente, que es Salvador de todos [los] hombres, especialmente de [los] que creen.

14 No descuides el don que tú tienes, que te fue conferido por medio de profecía con imposición de las manos de los ancianos.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As those who adhere to the faith are fixed on a safe anchor, so those who fall from the faith can nowhere rest; but after many wanderings to and fro, they are borne at last into the very gulf of perdition.

And that the Holy Ghost subsists, and lives, and speaks, and foretells, I have often said in what goes before, and Paul writes it plainly to Timothy: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in later times some shall depart from the faith,--which we see in the divisions not only of former times but also of our own; so motley …
