1 Timothy 4:12-16
Chapter 4
12
Let no one look down on you because of your youth. Be an example to the believers in your speech and conduct, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
13
Devote yourself to reading, preaching, and teaching until I arrive.
14
Do not neglect the spiritual gift given to you through the prophetic word when the elders laid their hands on you.
15
Put these things into practice, so that everyone can see your progress.
16
Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching. Be steady in doing this, and you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
