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 King James Version
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, (A)nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. 7 But (B)reject profane and old wives’ fables, and (C)exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For (D)bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, (E)having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end [a]we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, (F)who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
