1 Timothy 4:8 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.
Goliness can be put in context by other Bible verses.
1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Godliness has to do with the doctrine of the Bible, 1 Timothy 6:3. Godliness has to do with acknowledging of the truth, Titus 1:1. Godliness has to do with the knowledge of God, 2 Peter 1:3. The definition of Godliness is acknowledging the truth and knowledge of the Gospel or simply put, receiving the Gospel as true. Thus believing the Bible and it's doctrines is godliness.
This verse tells us that godliness profits everything and in both lives. For eternity, godliness will be profitable. Believing the Holy Scriptures and acknowledging them is more than physical strength; it is forever profitable. We must exercise our knowledge of the Bible over worldly concerns.
