1 Timothy 4:3 in Context — 1 Timothy 4
1 Mais l’Esprit dit expressément que, dans les derniers temps, quelques-uns abandonneront la foi, pour s’attacher à des esprits séducteurs et à des doctrines de démons,
2 par l’hypocrisie de faux docteurs portant la marque de la flétrissure dans leur propre conscience,
3 prescrivant de ne pas se marier, et de s’abstenir d’aliments que Dieu a créés pour qu’ils soient pris avec actions de grâces par ceux qui sont fidèles et qui ont connu la vérité.
4 Car tout ce que Dieu a créé est bon, et rien ne doit être rejeté, pourvu qu’on le prenne avec actions de grâces,
5 parce que tout est sanctifié par la parole de Dieu et par la prière.
