1 Timothy 4:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Lexham English Bible
The Good Servant of Christ
6 By[a] teaching these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed faithfully. 7 But reject those worthless myths told by elderly women[b], and train yourself for godliness. 8 For the training of the body is somewhat[c] profitable, but godliness is profitable for everything, because it[d] 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,[e] because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.
