False Teachers
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. 2 Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron. 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 Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks, 5 because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.
A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6 If you give these instructions to the believers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, as you feed yourself spiritually on the words of faith and of the true teaching which you have followed. 7 But keep away from those godless legends, which are not worth telling. Keep yourself in training for a godly life. 8 Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future. 9 This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed. 10 We struggle and work hard, because we have placed our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all and especially of those who believe.
11 Give them these instructions and these teachings. 12 Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith, and purity. 13 Until I come, give your time and effort to the public reading of the Scriptures and to preaching and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift that is in you, which was given to you when the prophets spoke and the elders laid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things and devote yourself to them, in order that your progress may be seen by all. 16 Watch yourself and watch your teaching. Keep on doing these things, because if you do, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Jōsasorgoj nu moldu mōceibom.
1 Gors soka skaidri, ka vālōkūs laikūs daži nu ticeibas atkriss un pīsakers moldu gorim un ļaunō gora mōceibom. 2 Pi tō jī pīnōks caur līkuleigu malu runōtōju izaturēšonu, kas poši sev sirdsapziņas kai ar dedzeiklu ir īzeimējuši. 3 Jī nūlīgs precētīs un ēst dažus ē dīņus, kurus Dīvs ir radejis, lai tī, kas ir ticeigi un ir pazynuši patīseibu, ar pateiceibu āstu. 4 Vyss, kū Dīvs radeja ir lobs, un nikas nav atmatams. Kas ar pateiceibu teik āsts, 5 tys teik pōrsvēteits caur Dīva vōrdu un caur lyugšonu.
6 Jo šytai brōļus mōceisi, tod tu byusi lobais Jezus Kristus kolps, kas sevi uztur ar ticeibas vōrdim un pareizu mōceibu, kurai tu esi pīkritis. 7 Nasvātōs bōbu pļōpas nūraidi. Vyngrojīs padīveibā pats. 8 Mīsas vyngrynōšona moz kū leidz, bet padīveiba ir vysam nūdereiga, jai ir kai tagadejōs tai arī nōkūšōs dzeives apsūleišona. 9 Šytys vōrds ir patīss un vysā pījamams. 10 Tōdēļ arī mes pyulejamēs un karojam. Mes sovu cereibu asom lykuši uz dzeivō Dīva, kas ir vysu ļaužu un it sevišķi ticeigūs Pesteitōjs.
11 Šytū sludynoj un mōci! 12 Un lai nivīns tevis nasmōdej tova jaunuma dēļ. Esi pats ticeigajim pīmārs vōrdūs, dorbūs, mīlesteibā, ticeibā un ceisteibā. 13 Koleidz es aizīšu, tu veļtej sevi prīškā laseišonai, pamūdynōšonai un pamōceišonai. 14 Naesi nūlaideigs žēlesteibas dōvonā, kas tevī ir, kas tev pravītōjuma vōrdu deļ caur presbiteru rūku uzlikšonu ir dūta. 15 Tamā strōdoj, tamā dzeivoj, lai tovas sekmes visim byutu radzamas. 16 Uzmoni pats sevi un mōceibu, palīc tamā nagrūzeits. Jo tu šytū dareisi, tad tu izglōbsi pats sevi un sovus klauseitōjus.
