1 Timothy 4:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]For every creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving.
5 [b]For it is [c]sanctified by the [d]word of God, and prayer.
6 [e]If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, which hast been nourished up in the words of faith, and of good doctrine which thou hast continually [f]followed.
