For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

While physical training has some value, the benefits of godliness are unlimited, since it holds out promise not only for this life but also for the life to come.
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
