If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables.
Exercise yourself toward godliness.
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
