1 Timothy 4:9 In-Context

7 But reject those {worthless myths told by elderly women}, and train yourself for godliness.

8 For the training of the body is {somewhat} profitable, but godliness is profitable for everything, [because it] holds promise for the present life and for the [life] to come.

9 The statement [is] trustworthy and deserving of complete acceptance.

10 For to this [end] we labor and suffer reproach, because we have put our hope in [the] living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.

11 Command these [things] and teach [them].
