1 Timothy 4:5

God's wordPrayerPurity

3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
