1 Tm 4:6-10

Counsel to Timothy. 6^* If you will give these instructions to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching you have followed. 7Avoid profane and silly myths. Train yourself for devotion,^d 8for, while physical training is of limited value, devotion is valuable in every respect, since it holds a promise of life both for the present and for the future.^e 9This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.^f 10For this we toil and struggle,^* because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe.^g
