1 Timothy 4:8 CPDV

⁶  By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured.

⁷  But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.

⁸  For the exercise of the body is somewhat useful. But piety is useful in all things, holding the promise of life, in the present and in the future.

⁹  This is a faithful saying and worthy of full acceptance.

¹⁰  For this reason we labor and are maligned: because we hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, most especially of the faithful.
