提摩太前書 4:8
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
「操練身體，益處還少；惟獨敬虔，凡事都有益處，因有今生和來生的應許。」
提摩太前書 6:6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
彼得後書 10:13
提摩太後書 3:12
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
不但如此，凡立志在基督耶穌裡敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。
提多書 2:11
- 13
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
因為神救眾人的恩典已經顯明出來，
教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾，在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日，
等候所盼望的福，並等候至大的神和（或作?無和字）我們救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。
彼得後書 2:9
if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探，把不義的人留在刑罰之下，等候審判的日子。
彼得後書 3:7
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
但現在的天地還是憑著那命存留，直留到不敬虔之人受審判遭沉淪的日子，用火焚燒。
