¹But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

¹ܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܀

²through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;

²ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܡܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܘܟܘܝܢ ܒܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ ܀

³forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

³ܘܟܠܝܢ ܠܡܙܕܘܓܘ ܘܡܦܪܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐܟܠܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܚܘܫܚܐ ܘܠܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܀

⁴For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁴ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܒܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܤܠܝ ܐܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܢܬܢܤܒ ܀

⁵for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

⁵ܡܬܩܕܫ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܀

⁶If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed [until now]:

⁶ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܦ ܠܐܚܝܟ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܪܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁷but refuse profane and old wives' fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:

⁷ܡܢ ܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܤܒܬܐ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܕܪܫ ܢܦܫܟ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܀

⁸for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.

⁸ܕܘܪܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܕܥܬܝܕ ܀

⁹Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.

⁹ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ ܀

¹⁰For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.

¹⁰ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܢܢ ܘܡܬܚܤܕܝܢܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܝܢܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀

¹¹These things command and teach.

¹¹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܦܩܕ ܀

¹²Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.

¹²ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܒܤܐ ܥܠ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܘܦܟܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ ܀

¹³Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

¹³ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܀

¹⁴Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

¹⁴ܘܠܐ ܬܒܤܐ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁵Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all.

¹⁵ܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܗܓܐ ܘܒܗܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܕܠܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܀

¹⁶Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.

¹⁶ܘܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܢܦܫܟ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܟ ܘܚܡܤܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܥܒܕ ܢܦܫܟ ܬܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܟ ܀
