7But 1haveG3868 nothingG3868 to doG3868 with 2worldlyG952 3fablesG3454 fitG1126 onlyG1126 for oldG1126 womenG1126. On the otherG1161 handG1161, disciplineG1128 yourselfG4572 for the purpose of 4godlinessG2150; 8for 5bodilyG4984 disciplineG1129 is only of littleG3641 profitG5624, but 6godlinessG2150 is profitableG5624 for allG3956 thingsG3956, since it 7holdsG2192 promiseG1860 for the 8presentG3568 lifeG2222 and also for the life to comeG3195. 99It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056 deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594. 10For it is for thisG3778 we laborG2872 and striveG75, becauseG3754 we have fixedG1679 10our hopeG1679 on 11the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 is 12the SaviorG4990 of allG3956 menG444, especiallyG3122 of believersG4103.
111314PrescribeG3853 and teachG1321 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 1215Let noG3367 oneG3367 lookG2706 downG2706 on your youthfulnessG3503, but rather in speechG3056, conductG391, 16loveG26, faithG4102 and purityG47, showG1096 yourself 17an exampleG5179 18of thoseG3588 who believeG4103. 1319UntilG2193 I comeG2064, giveG4337 attentionG4337 to the public 20readingG320 of Scripture, to exhortationG3874 and teachingG1319. 14Do not neglectG272 the spiritualG5486 giftG5486 withinG1722 you, whichG3739 was bestowedG1325 on you throughG1223 21propheticG4394 utteranceG4394 with 22the layingG1936 on of handsG5495 by the 2324presbyteryG4244. 15TakeG3191 painsG3191 with theseG3778 thingsG3778; be absorbed in them, soG2443 that your progressG4297 will be evidentG5318 to allG3956. 1625PayG1907 closeG1907 attentionG1907 to yourselfG4572 and to your teachingG1319; persevereG1961 in theseG846 thingsG846, for as you doG4160 thisG3778 you will 2627ensureG4982 salvationG4982 bothG2532 for yourselfG4572 and for thoseG3588 who hearG191 you.
