1 Timothy 4:5-7

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If you put the brethren in mind of these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, who has been nourished up in the words of the faith and good teaching, which teaching you have continually followed. 7 But cast away unspiritual and old wives’ tales.
Exercise yourself unto godliness.
