1. Simple as it gets

   $content_post = get_post($my_postid);
   $content = $content_post->post_content;
   $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);

3. Another way to get a WordPress post content by post id is:

   To complete this answer I have also added method 01 and method 02 to this answer.

   Method 01 (credit goes to bainternet):

   $content_post = get_post($my_postid);
   $content = $content_post->post_content;
   $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
   $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
   

   Method 02 (credit goes to realmag777):

   $content = get_post_field('post_content', $my_postid);
   

   Method 03:

   $content = apply_filters('the_content', get_post_field('post_content', $my_postid));

4. Starting from wordpress 5.2.0,

   We can now use post object or post id get_the_content function.

   We can also pass $more_link_text and $strip_teaser

   get_the_content( string $more_link_text = null, bool $strip_teaser = false, WP_Post|object|int $post = null )
   

   We can use it along with apply_filters like below to get all filters of the_content

   apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content(null, false, $post_id)),

5. If you need more than one post, use get_posts(). It leaves the main query alone and returns an array of posts that’s easy to loop over.
