1 Timothy 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 4:9

This is a faithful saying
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 Don't have anything to do with godless stories and silly tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
8 Training the body has some value. But being godly has value in every way. It promises help for the life you are now living and the life to come.
9 Here is a saying you can trust. You can accept it completely.
10 We work hard for it. Here is the saying. We have put our hope in the living God. He is the Savior of all people. Most of all he is the Savior of those who believe.
11 Command those things. Teach them.
