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.
El ejercicio físico tiene cierto valor, pero la disciplina espiritual es valiosa en todo sentido, ya que tiene promesa para la vida presente y también para la venidera.
La disciplina espiritual es más valiosa que el ejercicio físico porque beneficia tanto esta vida como la eterna.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, the Greco-Roman culture highly valued physical fitness and athletic competitions, as seen in events like the Olympic games, which Paul uses as a metaphor in his letter. Paul wrote 1 Timothy to his young protege, Timothy, who was overseeing the church in Ephesus, to warn against false teachings and encourage sound doctrine and personal piety. By contrasting bodily exercise with godliness, Paul highlights that while physical training has limited value, spiritual discipline yields far greater and lasting benefits.
