Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 4:9

9 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation .

This saying about the advantage of Godliness is true, and worthy to be received of all men. See the notes on chap. 1.15. where the same words are applyed to the great Proposition of the Gospel, That Christ came into the world to save sinners. That Christ came into the World to save sinners, and that such sinners as from ungodly will become godly, and persevere in the practise of Godliness, shall be happy in this life, and saved in the life to come, are two faithful and remarkable sayings, worthy the acceptation of all reasonable Creatures▪
