1 Timothy 4:6-11

6In pointing out these things to 1the brothers and sisters, you will be a good 2servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the 3good doctrine which you 4have been following. 7But 5stay away from 6worthless 7stories that are typical of old women. Rather, 8discipline yourself for the purpose of 9godliness; 8for 10bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but 11godliness is beneficial 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 set 15our hope on 16the living God, who is 17the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.

11 18 19Prescribe and teach these things.
