1 Timothy 4:7-10
New American Standard Bible
7 But [a]stay away from (A)worthless (B)stories that are typical of old women. Rather, [b]discipline yourself for the purpose of (C)godliness; 8 for (D)bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but (E)godliness is beneficial for all things, since it (F)holds promise for the (G)present life and also for the life to come. 9 (H)It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. 10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set (I)our hope on (J)the living God, who is (K)the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.

New King James Version
7 But (A)reject profane and old wives’ fables, and (B)exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For (C)bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, (D)having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end [a]we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, (E)who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 But refuse and avoid irreverent legends (profane and impure and godless fictions, mere grandmothers’ tales) and silly myths, and express your disapproval of them. Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit].
8 For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.
9 This saying is reliable and worthy of complete acceptance by everybody.
10 With a view to this we toil and strive, [yes and] [a]suffer reproach, because we have [fixed our] hope on the living God, Who is the Savior (Preserver, Maintainer, Deliverer) of all men, especially of those who believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to Him).
