Closing words of wisdom to a spiritual son.
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
1 Timothy 4:7
There are things in life to avoid and things to focus on. One good focus is godliness.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8
In fact, godliness can be pursued and grown in much like one would pursue physical training.
Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
1 Timothy 4:16 NIV
Right living and right teaching go hand in hand. Both are needed for living properly before God.
