1 Timothy 4:6-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the good teaching that you have followed.

7. But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness,

8. forthe training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way,since it holds promise for the present lifeand also for the life to come.

9. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.

10. In fact, we labor and strive for this, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, especially of those who believe.

11. Command and teach these things.

12. Let no one despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
