1 Timothy 4:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ [^LFor] ·Training your body [Physical exercise] helps you in ·some [or small] ways, but ·serving God [godliness] helps you in every way ·by bringing you blessings [^Lsince it holds promise] in this life and in the future life, too. ⁹ What I say is true [or This saying/word is trustworthy; 1:15; 3:1; 2 Tim. 2:11; Titus 3:8], and ·you should fully accept it [^Lworthy of full acceptance]. ¹⁰ This is why we work and struggle,^[a] because we have put our hope in the living God who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
