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

¹¹ These things recommend and teach. ¹² don't give occasion to any to despise your youth: but be a pattern to believers in your discourse, in your behaviour, by your charity, faith and chastity. ¹³ while I am absent apply yourself to reading, to exhortation, and instruction. ¹⁴ don't neglect the gift you have, which was given you with the ministerial charge, when you receiv'd imposition of hands from the presbytery. ¹⁵ meditate upon these things, be wholly employ'd about them, that your proficiency may appear to all. ¹⁶ take care how you behave, and what you teach. persevere in these duties: for by the practice of them, you will save both yourself, and those who hear you.

¹ Don't treat a senior with harsh reproof, but exhort him as a father, and the young men, as brethren: ² the elder women as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity.
