1 Timothy 4:9 In-Context

7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness,

8 for, the training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

9 This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.

10 In fact, we labor and strive for this, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things.
