5 Porque ela é santificada pela palavra de Deus e [pela] oração.

6 Se informares essas coisas aos irmãos, serás um bom servidor de Jesus Cristo, alimentado com as palavras da fé e de boa doutrina que tens seguido.

7 Mas rejeita os mitos profanos e de velhas, e exercita-te na devoção divina.

8 Pois o exercício do corpo tem pouco proveito; mas a devoção divina é proveitosa para tudo, pois tem as promessas da vida atual e da futura.

9 [Esta] palavra é fiel, e digna de toda aceitação.
