‘If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain.'
(1 Timothy 6:3-6)
'Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, "The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.' (2 Timothy 2:19-21)
Godliness is willing consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness: the word of His testimony. Salutary, a synonym of wholesome, describes something corrective or beneficially effective, even though it may in itself be unpleasant. Gainsaying promotes other than wholesome words.
