Study Note
Paul's comparison of bodily exercise and godliness occurs in a context addressing ascetic false teachers who 'forbid to marry and command to abstain from meats' (v. 3), making the verse a corrective to dualistic deprecation of the physical rather than a disparagement of physical care itself. The concessive 'profiteth little' (pros oligon estin ōphelimos) acknowledges genuine value in physical discipline while calibrating it against the eschatological scope of godliness, which holds promise for 'the life that now is and of that which is to come.' The phrase 'life that now is' (nyn zōē) is important for reading the Pastorals' this-worldly eschatological balance: the future orientation does not evacuate present existence of significance. The verse anticipates the Reformation debate about whether bodily disciplines contribute to salvation or only to formation.
