1 Timothy 4:11-1 Timothy 5:2 - Instructions For Ministry
11 Dwell upon these things in your teaching. 12 Do not let any one look down on you because you are young, but, by your conversation, your conduct, your love, your faith, and your purity, be an example to those who hold the Faith. 13 Till I come, apply yourself to public reading, preaching, and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the divine gift within you, which was given you, amid many a prediction, when the hands of the Officers of the Church were laid on your head. 15 Practice these things, devote yourself to them, so that your progress may be plain to every one. 16 Look to yourself as well as to your teaching. Persevere in this, for your doing so will mean Salvation for yourself as well as for your hearers.
1 Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers, 2 the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters--with all purity.
