1 Timothy 4:7
World English Bible (WEB)
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
In context
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 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.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
8 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.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
