For bodily exercise profiteth ° little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
 

4:8 profiteth little. Another sign of these latter times is the widespread mania for bodily exercise, along with dieting (especially eliminating animal foods, as noted in I Timothy 4:3), in order to achieve physical fitness and bodily beauty. But God says this is of little value. Our “exercise” should be “unto godliness” (I Timothy 4:7).
