7 Have nothing to do with ^lirreverent, silly ^mmyths. Rather ⁿtrain yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, ^ogodliness is of value in every way, ^pas it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the ^mpeaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been ⁿtrained by it.
