1Vaj Ntsujplig qhia tseeb hais tias yav tom ntej yuav muaj qee leej tso Vajtswv tseg. Lawv yuav mus mloog dab tej lus dag thiab ua raws li dab qhia. 2Tej lus qhia ntawd yog tej lus dag uas cov neeg siab phem qhia ntxias sawvdaws. Lawv cov ntawd lub siab zoo li cov neeg uas tuag lawm lub. Txawm yog lawv ua txhaum loj npaum li cas los lawv tsis paub li. 3Cov neeg ntawd qhia hais tias tsis txhob sib yuav thiab hais tias tej khoom noj muaj qee yam tsis txhob noj, tiamsis Vajtswv yeej tsim tej ntawd rau neeg noj. Cov neeg uas paub Vajtswv Txojlus uas yog txoj tseeb, lawv yuav tsum xub ua Vajtswv tsaug tso mam li noj. 4Ib puas tsav yam uas Vajtswv tsim cia rau neeg noj puavleej zoo huv tibsi, tsis tas peb yuav caiv ib yam dabtsi li. Peb yeej noj tau txhua yam huv tibsi, tiamsis thaum peb yuav noj peb yuav tsum xub ua Vajtswv tsaug tso mam li noj. 5Rau qhov Vajtswv Txojlus thiab qhov uas peb thov Vajtswv foom koob hmoov twb ua rau tej ntawd zoo thiab huv lawm.

Koj yuav tsum ua koj lub neej kom haum Vajtswv siab thiaj zoo. 8Yog peb xyaum khiav lossis xyaum ua li ub li no yuav muaj nqis mentsis rau peb lub cev. Tiamsis yog peb xyaum ua raws li Vajtswv txoj kevcai peb lub neej yuav zoo heev, tsis hais niaj hnub no lossis yav tom ntej. 9Zaj no yeej muaj tseeb tiag, tsimnyog sawvdaws khaws coj. 10Yog li ntawd, peb thiaj li ua siab ntev tiv kev txomnyem thiab rau siab ntso ua haujlwm, rau qhov peb cia siab rau Vajtswv tus uas muaj sia nyob uas yog tus Cawmseej.

The Great Apostasy
1Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed ⚓to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2⚓speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience ⚓seared with a hot iron, 3forbidding to marry, andcommanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, ⚓nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. 7But ⚓reject profane and old wives’ fables, and ⚓exercise yourself toward godliness. 8For ⚓bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, ⚓having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, ⚓who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 11These things command and teach.
Take Heed to Your Ministry
12Let no one despise your youth, but be an ⚓example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14⚓Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy ⚓with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 15Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
