Godliness

[RBDERRICK]

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

Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Godly living in this life is the for the best general health of the body, especially in emotional health by the Spirit of God.

Exercise is good but often can lead to bodily injuries, as well as lack of general health. The reason is that many people overemphasize exercise as a cure all, as well as overreacting to exercise by bad eating habits.

Simply living a godly life with moderation in all things, is the healthiest way to live.

Eating, drinking, and actively living well is the Bible's prescription for good general health into old age.

Even the bones are made strong.

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

On the contrary, exercise has been shown to have incredible benefits for cognition and the body, including longevity and living healthier longer. The science is very, very clear on this. For someone who does no exercise to go to 3 hours of exercise per week, will reduce their all-cause mortality by 70%, iirc.

It can lead to injuries but injuries can be dealt with. Muscle weakness and lack of muscle mass are causes of serious falls and injuries in old age which have a direct impact on longevity and health. 15-30% of those over 69 who fall and break a hip (300,000 per year in the U.S.) will die within one year. Of those that survive, 50% will see a one step reduction in mobility—to using a cane; from cane to walker; from walker to wheelchair.

The NT was written in the context of an ancient culture that valued youth and strength and vigor…

So the idea isn’t to reject beauty and health etc outright but rather to put them into proper place in a believer’s life…

Which is a more nuanced way of dealing with the surrounding culture vs ot times when Jews were contending with child sacrifice temple prostitution and such.
