In <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, after each act of creation, God declares it "good," culminating in the declaration that it was "very good" (<a href="/genesis/1-31.htm">Genesis 1:31</a>). This underscores the perfection and intentionality in God's design. The Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy, reaffirms this truth, countering any false teachings that might suggest otherwise. In the cultural context of the early church, there were ascetic groups that viewed certain aspects of creation, such as specific foods or marriage, as impure or lesser. Paul’s assertion here is a reminder of the goodness of God's creation, aligning with the broader biblical narrative that celebrates the created order.and nothing that is received with thanksgiving Thanksgiving is a central theme in Christian practice, reflecting an attitude of gratitude towards God. This phrase suggests that the act of receiving with thanksgiving sanctifies the creation. In the context of the early church, this was particularly relevant to debates over dietary laws and practices. By receiving God's creation with gratitude, believers acknowledge God's sovereignty and provision. This aligns with other scriptural teachings, such as <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:18</a>, which encourages believers to give thanks in all circumstances. Thanksgiving transforms the act of receiving into an act of worship, recognizing God's goodness and grace.should be rejected The rejection of God's creation, when received with thanksgiving, is discouraged. This addresses the issue of legalism and asceticism that was prevalent in the early church. Some groups, influenced by Gnostic beliefs, considered the material world as inherently evil. Paul counters this by affirming the goodness of creation and the importance of a thankful heart. This teaching is consistent with Jesus' own words in <a href="/mark/7-18.htm">Mark 7:18-19</a>, where He declares all foods clean, emphasizing that it is not what enters the body that defiles a person.

The very fact of its being His creation is enough. If made by God, then it must be good.And nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving.--Every kind of food and drink may become hateful in the eyes of the all-pure God if misused, if partaken of without any sense of gratitude to the Divine giver. But nothing which can be made use of as food ought to be regarded as unclean or as polluted; every kind of food is intended for man, the only condition being that whatever is partaken of should be gratefully received by him as a gift.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_timothy/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 4. - Is to be rejected for to be refused, A.V. Nothing is to be rejected. The A.V., "nothing to be refused," manifestly uses "nothing" in its adverbial sense ("in no degree," "not at all," Johnson's 'Dict.'), as οὐδέν in Greek is also commonly used (Liddell and Scott). In fact, it is very difficult to construe the passage as the R.V. does. To say "nothing is to be rejected if it is received," is scarcely sense. But to say that every creature of God is good (and on that account not to be rejected) if it is received with thanksgiving is very good and edifying sense. Creature (κτίσμα). The form commonly used by St. Paul is κτίσις (<a href="/romans/8-20.htm">Romans 8:20, 21, 22</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>, etc.). But κτίσμα stands by the side of κτίσις, like βρῶμα by the side of βρῶσις ὅραμα by the side of ὅρασις πόμα by the side of πόσις, and many more. The form κτίσμα ισ found in <a href="/james/1-18.htm">James 1:18</a>; and twice in Revelation. Good (καλόν); with reference to <a href="/genesis/1-10.htm">Genesis 1:10, 12</a>, etc. To be refused (ἀπόβλητον); only here in the New Testament, but found in classical Greek, and not uncommon in the LXX. and other Greek versions, for that which is "unclean," or "abominable." If it be received with thanksgiving. This clearly refers to "every creature of God," and is the condition on which it is good in relation to the receiver. Nothing can be clearer or more certain than that the apostle is not arguing against the Manichean doctrine of the evil of matter, or the works of the Demiurge, but against Jewish scruples about meats. "Every creature of God," he says, "is good" - words which would have no force if the creatures in question were not admitted to be the works of God, but thought to be the works of the Demiurge. But applied to the Jewish scruples, the words are perfectly relevant. Every creature of God is good, and on no account to be treated as common or unclean (<a href="/acts/10-15.htm">Acts 10:15, 28</a>), provided only that it be received with thanksgiving. <a href="/commentaries/1_timothy/4-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For ὅτι (hoti) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3754.htm">Strong's 3754: </a> Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because. every πᾶν (pan) Adjective - Nominative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3956.htm">Strong's 3956: </a> All, the whole, every kind of.
