1 Timothy 4:5-8 English Revised Version (ERV)

5. for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

6. If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed until now:

7. but refuse profane and old wives' fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:

8. for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
