1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 4New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
it is sanctified through God’s word: Christians rightly view all food as sanctified, or holy, because they are not under the dietary restrictions of the Mosaic Law. (See study note on 1Ti 4:3.) When Jehovah declares a thing clean, it is clean. For example, the apostle Peter was told in a vision: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.”—Ac 10:10-15.
prayer over it: Food is sanctified not only by God’s “word” but also by prayer. The one praying acknowledges that God is the Provider and accepts food as a gift from Him. So a Christian may eat it, confident that doing so does not defile him in God’s eyes.—Ge 1:29; 9:3; Mt 14:19; Lu 9:16.
