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 But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value for all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.

10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things.
