7 But avoid godless myths and old wives’ tales; instead, train yourself in godliness.
8 For physical exercise has some benefit; but godliness is beneficial for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the one to come.
9 Trustworthy is the saying and deserving of complete acceptance
10 (for to this end we work hard and strive): “We have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially those who trust.”
11 Insist on these things and teach them.
12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but become an example of the faithful—in speech, in conduct, in love, in faithfulness, and in purity.
13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to encouragement, and to teaching.
