1 Timothy 4:6-8

New Catholic Bible

The Benefits of Godliness. ⁶ If you offer these instructions to the brethren, you will prove to be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. ⁷ Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself in godliness.

⁸ While physical training has some value, the benefits of godliness are unlimited, since it holds out promise not only for this life but also for the life to come.
