A true one, and to be believed, that godliness has such promises annexed to it; see ( 1 Peter 3:10 1 Peter 3:11 ) ( Matthew 6:33 ) ( Psalms 84:11 Psalms 84:12 ) . and worthy of all acceptation;
by all godly persons, to encourage them to the exercise of godliness.

1 Timothy 4:9 In-Context

7 But do not follow foolish stories that disagree with God's truth, but train yourself to serve God.
8 Training your body helps you in some ways, but serving God helps you in every way by bringing you blessings in this life and in the future life, too.
9 What I say is true, and you should fully accept it.
10 This is why we work and struggle: We hope in the living God who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach these things.
