"But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness."

“but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness: ”
“But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward 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 creation of God is good and no food is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
For it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer.
By pointing out such things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, having nourished yourself on the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
But reject those myths fit only for the godless and gullible, and train yourself for godliness.
For“physical exercise has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way. It holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.”
This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.
In fact this is why we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.
