The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to
sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full
of greed.

which God created
Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth
1 Timothy 4:4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, ...
