1 Timothy 4:8
| ← 1 Timothy 4:7 | 1 Timothy 4:8 (KJV) | 1 Timothy 4:9 → |
|---|---|---|
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.
|
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
|
This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
