1 Timothy 3:1-6:21

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. (1 Timothy 4:8-10)

Let's restate the wisdom of these three verses of scripture in the imperative mood: Get some physical exercise, because it's good for you! But train your soul in godliness, because it's good forever! Work, struggle, hope, and believe, friends. God lives and saves!
