## 1 Timothy 4:5 in Context (Verses 2–8 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/3) Forbidding to marry, *and commanding* to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/4) For every creature of God *is* good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/5) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/6) If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/7) But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself *rather* unto godliness.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-timothy/4/8) For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
 
[1 Timothy 3](/kjv/1-timothy/3) [1 Timothy 5](/kjv/1-timothy/5)
