1 Timothy 4:12-16

12 ^aLet no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers ^ban example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 ^cDo not neglect the gift you have, which was given you ^dby prophecy when the council of elders ^elaid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, ^{▼▼Greek be in them} so that ^gall may see your progress. 16 ^hKeep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save ⁱboth yourself and ^jyour hearers.
