Study Note
The 'Spirit expressly says' (rhētōs) that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to 'deceitful spirits and teachings of demons' — one of the New Testament's most direct attributions of heresy to demonic origin. The phrase 'later times' (hysterois kairois) is an eschatological marker, though unlike the Synoptic 'last days' (eschatai hēmerai), it may indicate an imminent development rather than a distant end-time. The specific errors named — forbidding marriage and requiring abstinence from foods (verses 2–3) — reflect an ascetic dualism that later appeared in Marcionite and various Gnostic movements. The verse is part of the Pastoral Epistles' sustained concern with doctrinal fidelity and the authority of established teaching against innovative deviation.
