For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} bodily{G4984} exercise{G1129} profiteth{G2076}{(G5748)}{(G5624)} little{G4314}{G3641}: but{G1161} godliness{G2150} is{G2076}{(G5748)} profitable{(G5624)} unto{G4314} all things{G3956}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} promise{G1860} of the life{G2222} that now is{G3568}, and{G2532} of that which is to come{G3195}{(G5723)}.
Strong's King James
(8) Because bodily training is to little benefit but godliness is beneficial towards everything having a promise vow for this zoe-life now and the one coming.
The F.O.G*
[8] While physical training has its place and benefits, training in godliness is infinitely more valuable. It transforms not just your present life but connects you to the eternal life to come - it's the ultimate investment in both now and forever.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;
