Verse in context — 1 Timothy 4

But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
3
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.

For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
