1 Timothy 4:7-16

7But 1stayG3868 awayG3868 fromG3868 2worthlessG952 3storiesG3454 that are typicalG1126 ofG1126 oldG1126 womenG1126. RatherG1161, 4disciplineG1128 yourselfG4572 for the purposeG4314 of 5godlinessG2150; 8for 6bodilyG4984 trainingG1129 is just slightlyG4314G3641 beneficialG5624, but 7godlinessG2150 is beneficialG5624 for allG3956 thingsG3956, since it 8holdsG2192 promiseG1860 for the 9presentG3568 lifeG2222 and also for the life toG3195 comeG3195. 910It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056 deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594. 10For it is for thisG3778 we laborG2872 and striveG75, becauseG3754 we have setG1679 11our hopeG1679 on 12the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3739 is 13the SaviorG4990 of allG3956 mankindG444, especiallyG3122 of believersG4103.

111415PrescribeG3853 and teachG1321 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 1216Let noG3367 oneG3367 lookG2706 downG2706 onG2706 your youthfulnessG3503, but rather in speechG3056, conductG391, 17loveG26, faithG4102, and purityG47, showG1096 yourself 18an exampleG5179 19of thoseG3588 who believeG4103. 1320UntilG2193 I comeG2064, giveG4337 your attentionG4337 to the public 2122readingG320, to exhortationG3874, and teachingG1319. 14Do not neglectG272 the spiritualG5486 giftG5486 withinG1722 you, whichG3739 was grantedG1325 to you throughG1223 words of 23prophecyG4394 with 24the layingG1936 onG1936 of handsG5495 by the 2526councilG4244 ofG4244 eldersG4244. 15TakeG3191 painsG3191 with theseG3778 thingsG3778; be absorbed in them, soG2443 thatG2443 your progressG4297 will be evidentG5318 to allG3956. 1627PayG1907 closeG1907 attentionG1907 to yourselfG4572 and to the teachingG1319; persevereG1961 in theseG846 thingsG846, for as you doG4160 thisG3778 you will 28saveG4982 bothG2532 yourselfG4572 and thoseG3588 who hearG191 you.
