1 Timothy 4:1 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Timothy 4.

1 Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

2 influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
