1 Timothy 4:6

The Good Servant Of Christ

⁵ for it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and prayer. ⁶ If you point out these instructions to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished [through study] on the words of the faith and of the good [Christian] doctrine which you have closely followed. ⁷ But have nothing to do with irreverent folklore and silly myths. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness [keeping yourself spiritually fit].
