1 Timothy 4:7 ASV

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.

⁹  Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
