— 1 Timothy 4:3, American Standard Version

“forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.”

“Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and by them that have known the truth.”
“Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.”
“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.”
