Original text and translations

Latin text Corporalis exercitatio paululum habet utilitatis at pietas ad omnia utilis est, ut quæ promissiones habeat vitæ praesentis et futuræ.

English translation Bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, which hath the promise of the life present, and of that that is to come. (trans. Geneva Bible)
