勿為異端諸教所蕩、蓋心堅以恩乃善、非以食耳、行乎此者未獲益也、

勿為諸異端煽惑、以恩道堅厥心、則得益、如飲食是別、何益之有、

莫使支離忘本之異端、搖奪爾之心魂。務宜建樹信心於聖寵之上；勿可拘泥於飲食之事、以此自囿者、未有獲益者也。

Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.

Don’t let all kinds of strange teachings lead you astray. It is good that God’s grace makes our hearts strong. Don’t try to grow strong by eating foods that the law requires. They have no value for the people who eat them.

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.

So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.

Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.

Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord. Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, and he gives thanks to God.

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.

These people are dangerous reefs at your love feasts as they eat with you without reverence. They are shepherds who only look after themselves. They are waterless clouds carried along by winds; trees in late autumn— fruitless, twice dead and uprooted.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding irreverent and empty speech and contradictions from what is falsely called knowledge.

Men will rise up even from your own number and distort the truth to lure the disciples into following them.

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:“ Tell the Israelites: You may eat all these kinds of land animals.You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud.But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these: camels, though they chew the cud, do not have divided hooves— they are unclean for you;hyraxes, though they chew the cud, do not have hooves— they are unclean for you;hares, though they chew the cud, do not have hooves— they are unclean for you;pigs, though they have divided hooves, do not chew the cud— they are unclean for you.Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses— they are unclean for you.“ This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams.But these are to be abhorrent to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures in the water.They are to remain abhorrent to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must abhor their carcasses.Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be abhorrent to you.“ You are to abhor these birds. They must not be eaten because they are abhorrent: eagles, bearded vultures, Egyptian vultures,kites, any kind of falcon,every kind of raven,ostriches, short-eared owls, gulls, any kind of hawk,little owls, cormorants, long-eared owls,barn owls, eagle owls, ospreys,storks, any kind of heron, hoopoes, and bats.“ All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.But you may eat these kinds of all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.You may eat these: any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, and grasshopper.All other winged insects that have four feet are to be abhorrent to you.“ These will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,and whoever carries any of their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.All animals that have hooves but do not have a divided hoof and do not chew the cud are unclean for you. Whoever touches them becomes unclean.All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,and anyone who carries their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.“ These creatures that swarm on the ground are unclean for you: weasels, mice, any kind of large lizard,geckos, monitor lizards, common lizards, skinks, and chameleons.These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.When any one of them dies and falls on anything it becomes unclean— any item of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work. It is to be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.If any of them falls into any clay pot, everything in it will become unclean; you are to break it.Any edible food coming into contact with that unclean water will become unclean, and any drinkable liquid in any container will become unclean.Anything one of their carcasses falls on will become unclean. If it is an oven or stove, it is to be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.A spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but someone who touches a carcass in it will become unclean.If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be sown, it is clean;but if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean for you.“ If one of the animals that you use for food dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until evening.Anyone who eats some of its carcass is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.“ All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.For I am the LORD your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.For I am the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy.“ This is the law concerning animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that swarm on the ground,in order to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the animals that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.”

If anyone teaches false doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slander, evil suspicions,and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.

You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them,because such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.

encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.

and may not pay attention to Jewish myths and the commands of people who reject the truth.To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.

For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared.They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with gratitude.Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.

Now it is God who strengthens us together with you in Christ, and who has anointed us.

Therefore, don’t let anyone judge you in regard to food and drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.These are a shadow of what was to come; the substance is Christ.Let no one condemn you by delighting in ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm. Such people are inflated by empty notions of their unspiritual mind.He doesn’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, grows with growth from God.If you died with Christ to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

“ No, Lord!” Peter said.“ For I have never eaten anything impure and ritually unclean.”Again, a second time, the voice said to him,“ What God has made clean, do not call impure.”This happened three times, and suddenly the object was taken up into heaven.

not to be easily upset or troubled, either by a prophecy or by a message or by a letter supposedly from us, alleging that the day of the Lord has come.

This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.They are physical regulations and only deal with food, drink, and various washings imposed until the time of the new order.

I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with arguments that sound reasonable.

“ And now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

Jesus replied to them,“ Watch out that no one deceives you.

Dear friends, although I was eager to write you about the salvation we share, I found it necessary to write, appealing to you to contend for the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all.

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows I do!But I will continue to do what I am doing, in order to deny an opportunity to those who want to be regarded as our equals in what they boast about.For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.So it is no great surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.

One person believes he may eat anything, while one who is weak eats only vegetables.

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

“ Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food,” and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.

“ You must not eat any detestable thing.These are the animals you may eat: oxen, sheep, goats,deer, gazelles, roe deer, wild goats, ibexes, antelopes, and mountain sheep.You may eat any animal that has hooves divided in two and chews the cud.But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves, you are not to eat these: camels, hares, and hyraxes, though they chew the cud, they do not have hooves— they are unclean for you;and pigs, though they have hooves, they do not chew the cud— they are unclean for you. Do not eat their meat or touch their carcasses.“ You may eat everything from the water that has fins and scales,but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales— it is unclean for you.“ You may eat every clean bird,but these are the ones you may not eat: eagles, bearded vultures, black vultures,the kites, any kind of falcon,every kind of raven,ostriches, short-eared owls, gulls, any kind of hawk,little owls, long-eared owls, barn owls,eagle owls, ospreys, cormorants,storks, any kind of heron, hoopoes, and bats.All winged insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.But you may eat every clean flying creature.“ You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to a resident alien within your city gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. Do not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
