(1 Tim 4:7-8NASB) But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness {8} for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
(2 Tim 1:7 NASB) For God has at given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

However, something will be not be seen: the intense training and discipline that was necessary in order for athletes to qualify to compete.
