9. πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσ. ἀπ. ἄξ. See above on 1Ti 1:15. It is not certain what the reference is. This formula refers without doubt to what follows in 1Ti 1:15, and equally without doubt to what precedes in Tit 3:8. Hence its reference in any given instance must be determined by the context. On the whole it seems more natural here to understand it of the saying at the close of 1Ti 4:8 about the blessings of εὐσέβεια. 1Ti 4:10 does not read like a familiar or proverbial saying, and the γάρ after εἰς τοῦτο seems to be explanatory. (Yet compare 2Ti 2:11.)
