1 Timothy 4:11-1 Timothy 5:2 - Instructions For Ministry

¹¹ These things command and teach. ¹² Let no man disparage thy youth, but become an example of the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. ¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. ¹⁵ Think on these things--exist within these things--so that thy progress may be visible among all. ¹⁶ Hold firm to thyself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this thou will save both thyself and those who hear thee.

¹ Do not rebuke an elder man, but entreat him as a father, younger men as brothers, ² elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.
