SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:9
La palabra es fiel, y digna de ser recibida de todos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:9
Verse 9. This is a faithful saying] The truth of this doctrine none need doubt; and every man has it in his power to put this to the proof. See on chap. i. 15.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. This is a faithful saying , etc.] A true one, and to be believed, that godliness has such promises annexed to it; (see 1 Peter 3:10,11 Matthew 6:33 Psalm 84:11,12). and worthy of all acceptation ; by all godly persons, to encourage them to the exercise of godliness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-10 - Outward acts of self-denial profit little. What will it avail us to mortify the body, if we do not mortify sin? No diligence in mer outward things could be of much use. The gain of godliness lies much in the promise; and the promises to godly people relate partly to the lif that now is, but especially to the life which is to come: though we lose for Christ, we shall not lose by him. If Christ be thus the Saviour of all men, then much more will he be the Rewarder of those wh seek and serve him; he will provide well for those whom he has made ne creatures.
