Paul’s Five “Faithful Sayings”

The saying is trustworthy
and deserving of full acceptance,
that Christ Jesus
came into the world
to save sinners,
of whom I
am the foremost.

1 Timothy 1:15

The saying is trustworthy:
If anyone
aspires to the office of overseer,
he desires a noble task.

1 TIMOTHY 3:1

Rather
train yourself for godliness;
for while bodily training
is of some value,
godliness
is of value in every way,
as it holds promise for the present life
and also for the life to come.
The saying is trustworthy and
deserving of full acceptance.

1 Timothy 4:7b-9

The saying is trustworthy, for:

If we have died with Him,
we will also live with Him;

if we endure,
we will also reign with Him;

if we deny Him,
He also will deny us;

if we are faithless,
He remains faithful.

2 Timothy 2:11-13

The saying is trustworthy,
and I want you to insist on these things,
so that those
who have believed in God
may be careful to devote themselves
to good works.
These things are
excellent
and profitable
for people.

Titus 3:8
