Summary

Richard Francis Weymouth Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech…

If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions— those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,
006:004 he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is
crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give
rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions,
006:005 and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects
are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge
of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain.

001:005 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.

Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.
004:009 Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal acceptance:
004:010 and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.
