A Good Minister’s Discipline
6 In pointing out these things to (A)the brothers and sisters, you will be a good (B)servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the (C)good doctrine which you (D)have been following. 7 But [a]stay away from (E)worthless (F)stories that are typical of old women. Rather, [b]discipline yourself for the purpose of (G)godliness; 8 for (H)bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but (I)godliness is beneficial for all things, since it (J)holds promise for the (K)present life and also for the life to come.
