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

1 Timothy 4:12-16
King James Version
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
