1 Timothy 4:11-16
4:12 a Be an example: Only those whose lives are shaped by the Good News are worthy teachers of it (cp. 2 Tim 3:10-11 b; Titus 2:7 c; Heb 13:7 d). The false teachers were not.4:14 e laid their hands on you: The gesture signified recognition, authorization, and blessing (see Acts 13:1-3 f; 6:6 g). This was probably the same event as in 2 Tim 1:6-7 h (see 1 Tim 1:18 i; cp. Rom 12:6-8 j; 1 Cor 12:7-11 k; Eph 4:7-13 l). Paul’s ministry and that of his delegates was under the authority of the church.
