Out of Shape
It happens, we get out of shape. Takes some time and effort to get back into shape, but we can do it with GOD’s help.
“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”
Shepherd's Note
Paul does not dismiss the body here; he ranks it. Physical training is of some value, he says plainly, and anyone out of shape knows the slow, honest work of returning. But he points Timothy to the training that reaches further, into the life to come. Both kinds share one truth: fitness is never kept by wishing, only by repeated effort over time.
