12 (A)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, (B)love, faith, and purity, show yourself (C)an example [a]of those who believe. 13 (D)Until I come, give your attention to the public [b](E)reading, to exhortation, and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was granted to you through words of (F)prophecy with (G)the laying on of hands by the [c](H)council of elders. 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
