But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.G2967G1060G567G1033G3739G2316G2936G1519G3336G3326G2169G4103G2532G1921G2254Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks.G3754G3956G2938G2316G2570G2532G3762G579G2983G3326G21695For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.G1063G37G1223G3056G2316G2532G1783
A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed.G5294G80G5294G5023G2071G2570G1249G2424G5547G1789G3056G4102G2532G2570G1319G3739G38777Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives' tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.G1161G3868G952G2532G1126G3454G1161G1128G4572G4314G21508"Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come."G1063G4984G1129G2076G5624G4314G3641G1161G2150G2076G5624G4314G3956G2192G1860G2222G3568G2532G31959This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it.G4103G3056G2532G514G3956G59410This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.G1063G1519G5124G2872G2532G2872G2532G3679G3754G1679G1909G2198G2316G3739G2076G4990G3956G444G3122G410311Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them.G5023G3853G2532G132112Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young.
