1 Timothy 4:11-13
New International Version
11 Command and teach these things.(A) 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you(B) because you are young, but set an example(C) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith(D) and in purity. 13 Until I come,(E) devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture,(F) to preaching and to teaching.
1 Timothy 4:11-14
The Message
11-14 Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.
