When Timotheus arrives, see that you make him feel quite at home with you; he carries on the work of the Lord as I do. So let no one disparage him. When he leaves to rejoin me, speed him cordially on his journey, for I am expecting him along with the other brothers.

Let no one slight you because you are a youth, but set the believers an example of speech, behaviour, love, faith, and purity.

for God has not given us a timid spirit but a spirit of power and love and discipline.

You are the light of the world. A town on the top of a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp to put it under a bowl; they put it on a stand and it shines for all in the house. So your light is to shine before men, that they may see the good you do and glorify your Father in heaven.
