King James Version
"But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness."
— 1 Timothy 4:7, King James Version
“but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness: ”
“But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.”
“But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness.”
“But avoid foolish and old wives fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.”
“But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:”
“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.”
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
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.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
