1 Timothy 4:6

Read in context

1 Timothy 4:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,

5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

7 But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.

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.
