1 However, the Spirit very clearly explains that in the last times some will abandon their trust in God, and will listen to deceptive spirits and beliefs that come from demons. 2 These hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared, 3 tell people to not marry and not to eat certain foods made by God that should be accepted with thanks by those who trust and know the truth. 4 Everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected but should be received with thanks, 5 since it is made sacred by the word of God and by prayer. 6 If you point out these things to the brothers and sisters you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus. You gain strength by trusting in the truth, and in the good teaching you've followed. 7 Reject what is irreligious, and old wives' tales. Make sure your exercise is spiritual— 8 for while physical exercise is useful to some extent, spiritual exercise is much more useful. For “it has promise for the present life, and for the life to come.” 9 You can trust this saying that should be accepted by everyone. 10 The reason we work and do the best we can is because our hope is in the living God. He is the Savior of all people, especially of those who trust in him. 11 This is what you should teach. Tell everyone to follow your instructions. 12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. Be an example to those who trust in God—in the way you speak, the kind of life you live, in love, in trust, and in purity. 13 Until I get there, make sure you read the Scriptures to the church, and encourage them by your speaking and teaching. 14 Don't neglect the gracious gift you have that was given to you by prophetic inspiration when the church elders laid their hands on you. 15 Think carefully about these things, and dedicate yourself completely to them so that everyone can see the progress you're making. 16 Mind what you're doing and what you're teaching. Keep going with all of this, because as you do so you'll save both yourself and those who listen to you.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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 …
