1 Timothy 4:12-16

12Don’t let anyone look down on you for being young. Instead, make your speech, behavior, love, faith, and purity an example for other believers.

13Until I get there, concentrate on reading ⌞Scripture⌟ in worship, giving encouraging messages, and teaching people.

14Don’t neglect the gift which you received through prophecy when the spiritual leaders  placed their hands on you ⌞to ordain you⌟.

15Practice these things. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress.

16Focus on your life and your teaching. Continue to do what I’ve told you. If you do this, you will save yourself and those who hear you.
