1 Timothy 4:3

Forbidding to marry; as popery forbids the clergy, and induces monks and nuns to take vows of celibacy, declaring, as did the council of Trent, "Whosoever shall say that the married state is to be preferred to a state of virginity or celibacy, let him be accursed." Commanding to abstain from meats; as popery does during Lent, on fast-days, and days of abstinence. See Butler's Catechism and Dens' Theology.

To be received; for food, and eaten by believers who know the will of God, during Lent as well as at other times.
