1 Timothy 4:6-10

A Good Minister’s Discipline
6 In pointing out these things to (A)the brothers, you will be a good (B)servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished on the words of the faith and of the [a](C)sound doctrine which you (D)have been following. 7 But refuse (E)godless (F)myths fit only for old women. On the other hand, train yourself for the purpose of (G)godliness, 8 for (H)bodily training is only of little profit, but (I)godliness is profitable for all things, since it (J)holds promise for the (K)present life and also for the life to come. 9 (L)It is a trustworthy saying and deserving full acceptance. 10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed (M)our hope on (N)the living God, who is (O)the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

1 Timothy 4:6-10
New International Version
6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith(A) and of the good teaching that you have followed.(B) 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;(C) rather, train yourself to be godly.(D) 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,(E) holding promise for both the present life(F) and the life to come.(G) 9 This is a trustworthy saying(H) that deserves full acceptance. 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God,(I) who is the Savior of all people,(J) and especially of those who believe.
