PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Το δε Πνεύμα ρητώς λέγει ότι εν υστέροις καιροίς θέλουσιν αποστατήσει τινές από της πίστεως, προσέχοντες εις πνεύματα πλάνης και εις διδασκαλίας δαιμονίων,
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,
1 Τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα ῥητῶς λέγει ὅτι ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως, προσέχοντες πνεύμασι πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων,
2 διά της υποκρίσεως ψευδολόγων, εχόντων την εαυτών συνείδησιν κεκαυτηριασμένην,
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
2 ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων, κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν,
3 εμποδιζόντων τον γάμον, προσταζόντων αποχήν βρωμάτων, τα οποία ο Θεός έκτισε διά να μεταλαμβάνωσι μετά ευχαριστίας οι πιστοί και οι γνωρίσαντες την αλήθειαν.
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.
3 κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἔκτισεν εἰς μετάληψιν μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
4 Διότι παν κτίσμα Θεού είναι καλόν, και ουδέν απορρίψιμον, όταν λαμβάνηται μετά ευχαριστίας·
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
4 ὅτι πᾶν κτίσμα Θεοῦ καλόν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον·
5 διότι αγιάζεται διά του λόγου του Θεού και διά της προσευχής.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
5 ἁγιάζεται γὰρ διὰ λόγου Θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως.
6 Ταύτα συμβουλεύων εις τους αδελφούς, θέλεις είσθαι καλός διάκονος του Ιησού Χριστού, εντρεφόμενος εν τοις λόγοις της πίστεως και της καλής διδασκαλίας, την οποίαν παρηκολούθησας.
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.
6 Ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καλὸς ἔσῃ διάκονος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας.
7 Τους δε βεβήλους και γραώδεις μύθους παραιτού και γύμναζε σεαυτόν εις την ευσέβειαν·
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
7 τοὺς δὲ βεβήλους καὶ γραώδεις μύθους παραιτοῦ, γύμναζε δὲ σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν·
8 διότι η σωματική γυμνασία είναι προς ολίγον ωφέλιμος αλλ' η ευσέβεια είναι προς πάντα ωφέλιμος, έχουσα επαγγελίαν της παρούσης ζωής και της μελλούσης.
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.
8 ἡ γὰρ σωματικὴ γυμνασία πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος, ἡ δὲ εὐσέβεια πρὸς πάντα ὠφέλιμός ἐστιν, ἐπαγγελίας ἔχουσα ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καὶ τῆς μελλούσης.
9 Πιστός ο λόγος και πάσης αποδοχής άξιος·
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
9 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος·
10 επειδή διά τούτο και κοπιάζομεν και ονειδιζόμεθα, διότι ελπίζομεν εις τον ζώντα Θεόν, όστις είναι ο Σωτήρ πάντων ανθρώπων, μάλιστα των πιστών.
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
10 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ κοπιῶμεν καὶ ὀνειδιζόμεθα, ὅτι ἠλπίκαμεν ἐπὶ Θεῷ ζῶντι, ὅς ἐστι σωτὴρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων, μάλιστα πιστῶν.
12 Μηδείς ας μη καταφρονή την νεότητά σου, αλλά γίνου τύπος των πιστών εις λόγον, εις συναναστροφήν, εις αγάπην, εις πνεύμα, εις πίστιν, εις καθαρότητα.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
12 μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ, ἐν πνεύματι, ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ.
13 Έως να έλθω, καταγίνου εις την ανάγνωσιν, εις την προτροπήν, εις την διδασκαλίαν·
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
13 ἕως ἔρχομαι πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ.
14 μη αμέλει το χάρισμα, το οποίον είναι εν σοι, το οποίον εδόθη εις σε διά προφητείας μετά επιθέσεως των χειρών του πρεσβυτερίου.
14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
14 μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος, ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας μετὰ ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου.
15 Ταύτα μελέτα, εις ταύτα μένε, διά να ήναι φανερά εις πάντας η προκοπή σου.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
15 ταῦτα μελέτα, ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι, ἵνα σου ἡ προκοπὴ φανερὰ ᾖ ἐν πᾶσιν.
16 Πρόσεχε εις σεαυτόν και εις την διδασκαλίαν, επίμενε εις αυτά· διότι τούτο πράττων και σεαυτόν θέλεις σώσει και τους ακούοντάς σε.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
16 ἔπεχε σεαυτῷ καὶ τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου.

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.

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 …
