Read in context

1 Timothy 4:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.

9 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.

10 To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

11 Command and teach these things.

12 Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
