1 Timothy 4:4-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.
7 But avoid foolish and old wives' fables: and exercise thyself unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

1 Timothy 4:4-8
New International Version
4 For everything God created is good,(A) and nothing is to be rejected(B) if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God(C) and prayer.
6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith(D) and of the good teaching that you have followed.(E) 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;(F) rather, train yourself to be godly.(G) 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,(H) holding promise for both the present life(I) and the life to come.(J)
