1 Timotius 1:12

1:12 I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,

1 Timotius 4:8

4:8 For “physical exercise ¹  has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way. It holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.”

1 Timotius 5:16

5:16 If a believing woman ²  has widows in her family, ³  let her help them. The church should not be burdened, so that it may help the widows who are truly in need. ⁴ 

1 Timotius 6:16

6:16 He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.

[4:8]  ¹ tn Grk “bodily training” (using the noun form of the verb “train” in v. 7b).

[5:16]  ² tc Most witnesses (D Ψ Ï sy) have πιστὸς ἤ (pisto" h) before πιστή (pisth), with the resultant meaning “if a believing man or woman.” But such looks to be a motivated reading, perhaps to bring some parity to the responsibilities of men and women listed here, and as a way of harmonizing with v. 4. Further, most of the earliest and best witnesses (א A C F G P 048 33 81 1175 1739 1881 co) lack the πιστὸς ἤ, strengthening the preference for the shorter reading.

[5:16]  ³ tn Grk “has widows.”

[5:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “the real widows,” “those who are really widows.”
