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

¹¹ Enjoin and teach these things. ¹² Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. ¹³ Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. ¹⁴ Be not negligent of the gift that is in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood. ¹⁵ Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all. ¹⁶ Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.

¹ Rebuke not an elder sharply, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brethren, ² elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
