提摩太前书4:7-10
7只是要弃绝那世俗的言语，和老妇荒渺的话，在敬虔上操练自己。8操练身体，益处还少。惟独敬虔，凡事都有益处。因有今生和来生的应许。9这话是可信的，是十分可佩服的。10我们劳苦努力，正是为此。因我们的指望在乎永生的神。他是万人的救主，更是信徒的救主。
7Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” 9This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. 10This is why we work hard and continue to struggle,#4:10 Some manuscripts read continue to suffer. for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.
