1 Timothy 4:9 In-Context

7 Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives' tales. Train yourself in godliness,

8 for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

9 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance.

10 For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

11 These are the things you must insist on and teach.
