From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 8. This is a faithful saying. See Barnes "1 Ti 1:15". The reference here is to what he had been just saying, meaning that the doctrine which he had stated about the method of salvation was in the highest degree important, and entirely worthy of belief. And these things I will that thou affirm constantly. Make them the constant subject of your preaching. That they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. This shows that Paul supposed that the doctrines of the gospel were fitted to lead men to holy living. Comp. Tit 3:1, and See Barnes "Php 4:8".
