1 Timothy 4:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was granted to you through words of ^(A)prophecy with ^(B)the laying on of hands by the ^[a](C)council of elders. ¹⁵ Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. ^16 (D)Pay close attention to yourself and to the teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ^(E)save both yourself and those who hear you.
