Bible: 1 Timothy 4:7-16
4:11 Command and teach these things. 4:12 Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, 8 and purity. 4:13 Until I come, give attention to the public reading of scripture, 9 to exhortation, to teaching. 4:14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have, 10 given to you and confirmed by prophetic words 11 when the elders laid hands on you. 12 4:15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that everyone will see your progress. 13 4:16 Be conscientious about how you live and what you teach. 14 Persevere in this, because by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
