1 Timothy 4:6-11

6In pointing out these things to 1the brethren, you will be a good 2servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the 3 4sound doctrine which you 5have been following. 7But 6have nothing to do with 7worldly 8fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of 9godliness; 8for 10bodily discipline is only of little profit, but 11godliness is profitable for all things, since it 12holds promise for the 13present life and also for the life to come. 9 14It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. 10For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed 15our hope on 16the living God, who is 17the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

11 18 19Prescribe and teach these things.
