Glory to God.

Would you turn with me to 1 Timothy the 4th chapter this evening, 1 Timothy 4?

And we have been talking on a series, or teaching and ministering, I should say, on a series

about the spiritual man.

And every week I think, well, okay, I'm about wrapped that up.

And then I realized, no, not quite.

So I'm still not through with the spiritual man this evening.

And in 1 Timothy 4 and verse 6, in 1 Timothy 4, 6 says if you put the brethren in remembrance

of these things that he was talking about, you'll be a good minister of Jesus Christ,

nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine where unto you have attained but refuse

profane and old wives fables and exercise yourself rather unto godliness for bodily exercise

profiteth little you know it's interesting the way this is

worded in the King James, so many people just get the idea that it's good for nothing. And that's

not what he's saying at all. He's comparing exercising the body to exercising the spirit in the things of God.

Is physical exercise profitable?

Yes, it is.

It says profiteth little in the King James,

but my Bible has a number by the word little,

and the margin says for a little while or a little time.

And so it profits little compared to eternal profit.

It does benefit you down here and now.

But he's comparing it to another kind of exercise.
