1 Timothy 4:11-16

New American Standard Bible

^11 [a](A)Prescribe and teach these things. ^12 (B)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, ^(C)love, faith, and purity, show yourself ^(D)an example ^[b]of those who believe. ^13 (E)Until I come, give your attention to the public ^[c](F)reading, to exhortation, and teaching. ¹⁴ Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was granted to you through words of ^(G)prophecy with ^(H)the laying on of hands by the ^[d](I)council of elders. ¹⁵ Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. ^16 (J)Pay close attention to yourself and to the teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ^(K)save both yourself and those who hear you.
