For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
but godliness has value for all things
1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Philippians 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
holding promise for both the present life
Psalm 37:9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
Psalm 37:11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
Proverbs 22:4 Humility is the fear of the LORD; its wages are riches and honor and life.
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
and in the life to come
Mark 10:29-30 "Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--along with persecutions--and in the age to come eternal life."
