1 Timothy 4:9-16

9 1It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. 10For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed 2our hope on 3the living God, who is 4the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

11 5 6Prescribe and teach these things. 12 7Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, 8love, faith and purity, show yourself 9an example 10of those who believe. 13 11Until I come, give attention to the public 12reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. 14Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through 13prophetic utterance with 14the laying on of hands by the 15 16presbytery. 15Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. 16 17Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will 18 19ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
