1 А Дух разговетно говори да ће у последња времена одступити неки од вере слушајући лажне духове и науке ђаволске, 2 у лицемерју лажа, жигосаних на својој савести, 3 који забрањују женити се, и заповедају уздржавати се од јела која Бог створи за јело са захвалношћу вернима и онима који познаше истину. 4 Јер је свако створење Божије добро и ништа није на одмет кад се прима са захвалношћу. 5 Јер се освећује речју Божијом и молитвом. 6 Ово све казујући браћи бићеш добар слуга Исуса Христа, одгајен речима вере и добром науком коју си примио. 7 А поганих и бапских гаталица клони се; а обучавај се у побожности. 8 Јер телесно обучавање мало је корисно, а побожност је корисна за свашта, имајући обећање живота садашњег и оног који иде. 9 Ово је истинита реч и достојна сваког примања. 10 Јер се зато и трудимо и бивамо срамотни, јер се уздамо у Бога Живог, који је Спаситељ свим људима, а особито вернима. 11 Ово заповедај и учи. 12 Нико да не постане немарљив за твоју младост; него буди углед вернима у речи, у живљењу, у љубави, у духу, у вери, у чистоти. 13 Докле дођем пази на читање, утешавање и учење. 14 Не пусти у немар дар у себи који ти је дан по пророштву метнувши старешине руке на тебе. 15 У овом се поучавај, у овом стој, да се напредак твој покаже у свему. 16 Пази на себе и на науку, и стој у томе; јер ово чинећи спашћеш и самог себе и оне који те слушају.

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.

Thou hast taught me, good Father, that "unto the pure all things are pure;" but "it is evil for that man who eateth with offence;" "and that every creature of Thine is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with, thanksgiving;" and that "meat commendeth us not to God;" and that no man should "judge us in …

… neither condemn the men as sinners, nor abhor the flesh as strange food; for the Apostle knows some of this sort, when he says: forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe.

In the First Epistle to Timothy do we not read: "These things command and teach?" What these things are, has been told previously.

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 …
