“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.”
For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, holding promise for the present life and also for the life to come — though sōmatikē gymnasia (physical training) possesses modest merit (mikra ōphelia), eusebia (godliness) alone offers comprehensive benefit (panta ophelima) spanning both temporal and eternal existence. Spiritual discipline's returns exceed physical discipline infinitely.
