Ophelimos describes what is beneficial in relation to training, Scripture, and good works.

The attested use describes what has practical benefit: piety is set against bodily training in 1 Timothy 4:8, Scripture is described in connection with teaching and correction in 2 Timothy 3:16, and “these things” are linked with good works for people in Titus 3:8.

   In 1 Timothy 4:8, the singular feminine forms occur in the contrast between bodily training and piety; the APB renders the clause, “Bodily training is of little value, but piety is valuable for all things.” In 2 Timothy 3:16, the singular feminine form qualifies Scripture in a clause naming teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness; in Titus 3:8, the plural neuter form occurs where “these things” are connected with good works and are said to be good and profitable for people.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with “value,” “valuable,” and “profitable.” These renderings confirm the clauses' emphasis on benefit without assigning each English word mechanically to the lemma.
