[4:1] The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.
[4:2] Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.
[4:3] Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten, after a prayer of thanks, by those who are believers and have come to know the truth.
[4:4] Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks,
[4:5] because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.
