Just to be clear, Bruce Fleming points out that “pistos ho logos” occurs 3 times in 1 Tim, the first time it is ambiguous meaning either “Trustworthy is the saying” or “Faithful is the Word (meaning Jesus)” but the latter 2 times just the latter is meant,  except as perhaps a backwards ref. to the first ambiguous ref.
Many translations do not show this, and look for a saying in the 2nd and 3rd instances, when there is not one to find.
