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.

A Good Minister of Jesus Christ
6 If you put these instructions before the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant[a] of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching that you have followed.(A) 7 Have nothing to do with profane and foolish tales. Train yourself in godliness,(B) 8 for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.(C) 9 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and suffer reproach,[b] because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.(D)
