  1. Luke 3:22 σωματικῷ in a bodily

    and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

1 Timothy · 1

  1. 1 Timothy 4:8 σωματικὴ bodily

    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.

    Here: 'Having to do with the body.' It names training that works on the body, as opposed to the training in devotion just commanded. It is a neutral descriptive word, not a put-down of the body.
