| 8 | 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 physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come. | 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. |
In context
AI-assisted, sourcedPaul has just warned Timothy about false teachers who forbid marriage and demand abstaining from certain foods (4:1-3). He tells Timothy to reject such fables and to train himself in godliness instead (4:7). This verse gives the reason: physical training helps a little, but godliness helps in every way, now and in the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:11 Timothy 4:31 Timothy 4:71 Timothy 4:8
Commonly taken out of context
How it’s often usedQuoted to claim that physical exercise is worthless or unspiritual, or set up as a choice between fitness and faith.
In contextPaul says bodily training profits "little," not nothing. His point is a comparison: godliness has far greater and longer-lasting value, and he uses the image of training to urge Timothy to work at it. 1 Timothy 4:71 Timothy 4:8Strong's G3641Strong's G5624
SpeakingPaul the apostle, who names himself at the start of the letter. Many critical scholars think a follower wrote in Paul's name, while others defend Paul's authorship. 1 Timothy overview
ToTimothy, Paul's younger co-worker, whom Paul had left to lead the church at Ephesus. 1 Timothy overview
Also involvedThe believers Timothy teaches. Paul says that by teaching these things Timothy will save himself and those who hear him. 1 Timothy 4:61 Timothy 4:111 Timothy 4:16
Paul compares two kinds of training. Bodily training is of some use, but only a little. Godliness, meaning reverent devotion to God, is useful for everything and carries a promise for this life and the next. 1 Timothy 4:8Strong's G1129Strong's G3641Strong's G2150Strong's G1860
Timothy was in Ephesus, a wealthy port city and capital of the Roman province of Asia. The letter does not say where it was written from, though Paul had gone on to Macedonia. 1 Timothy overview
The eventsThe verse belongs to Paul's instructions for Timothy's leadership in Ephesus, during a time of false teaching within the church. 1 Timothy overview
WrittenTraditional view: about AD 62-64, between Paul's first and second Roman imprisonments. Scholarly view: many critical scholars date it around AD 80-110. 1 Timothy overview
HerePaul wants Timothy to put his effort into growing in godliness, not into empty teachings. The athletic picture of training ("exercise thyself") carries from verse 7 into verse 8. 1 Timothy 4:71 Timothy 4:8Strong's G1129
In the whole of ScriptureA key theme of the letter is that sound teaching produces godly living, and that belief and behavior belong together. Paul calls this a faithful saying worth accepting, rooted in trust in the living God. 1 Timothy overview1 Timothy 4:91 Timothy 4:10
For readersThe verse asks readers to weigh where they put their effort. Caring for the body has real but limited value. Devotion to God has value that lasts beyond this life. 1 Timothy 4:81 Timothy 6:6
- exerciseγυμνασία
The Greek word means training or exercise, related to the verb used in verse 7 for "exercise thyself." Paul compares two kinds of training, not exercise against laziness. Strong's G11291 Timothy 4:7
- littleὀλίγος
The word means few, small, or slight. It grants bodily training some real value while ranking it far below godliness. Strong's G3641
- godlinessεὐσέβεια
The word means piety or reverence toward God. It appears several times in this letter (2:2, 4:7-8, 6:5-6, 6:11). Strong's G2150
- promiseἐπαγγελία
In the New Testament this word is used especially for God's promises. Godliness is valuable because God attaches a promise to it, for this life and the coming one. Strong's G18601 Timothy 4:8
Takeaway
Train the body if you like, since it helps a little. But give your main effort to godliness, which God promises will benefit you both now and in the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:71 Timothy 4:8Mark 10:30
