1 Timothy 4:6-11

Christian Standard Bible

A Good Servant of Jesus Christ

⁶ If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith^(A) and the good teaching that you have followed.^{(B) 7} But have nothing to do with pointless and silly myths.^(C) Rather, train yourself in godliness.^{(D) 8} For the training of the body has limited benefit,^(E) but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.^{(F) 9} This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.^{(G) 10} For this reason we labor and strive,^[a] because we have put our hope in the living God,^(H) who is the Savior^(I) of all people,^(J) especially of those who believe.
