1 Timothy 4:6-8
New Matthew Bible
6 If you put the brethren in mind of these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, who has been nourished up in the words of the faith and good teaching, which teaching you have continually followed. 7 But cast away unspiritual and old wives’ tales.
Exercise yourself unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise is of some benefit, but godliness is fruitful in all things, having promises for the life that is now and for the life to come.
