1 Timothy 4:11-16
English Standard Version
11 Command and teach (A)these things. 12 (B)Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers (C)an 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 (D)Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you (E)by prophecy when the council of elders (F)laid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them,[a] so that (G)all may see your progress. 16 (H)Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save (I)both yourself and (J)your hearers.

1 Timothy 4:11-16
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. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy(G) when the body of elders(H) laid their hands on you.(I)
15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save(J) both yourself and your hearers.
2 Timothy 1:3-7
English Standard Version
Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
3 (A)I thank God (B)whom I serve, as did my ancestors, (C)with a clear conscience, as I remember you (D)constantly in my prayers night and day. 4 (E)As I remember your tears, (F)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of (G)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and (H)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you (I)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us (J)a spirit not of fear but (K)of power and love and self-control.
