These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

Command and teach these things.

Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.

Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.

I command you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
