1 Timothy 4:6-8
Revised Geneva Translation
6 If you put the brothers in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, who has been nourished in the words of faith and good doctrine which you have continually followed.
7 But, reject worldly and old wives’ fables. And train yourself towards godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profits a little. But godliness is profitable towards all things, having the promise of this life and of that which is to come.
