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

11 Command these [things] and teach [them]. 12 Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, pay attention to the [public] reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift [that is] in you, that was granted to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. 15 Practice these [things]. Be [diligent] in these [things], in order that your progress may be evident to everyone. 16 Fix [your] attention on yourself and on your teaching. Continue in them, for [by] doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to [him] as a father, younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
