1 Timothy 4:9-16
-
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
-
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
-
11 These things command and teach.
-
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
-
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
-
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
-
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
-
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
