Legacy Standard Bible
11 (A)Command and teach these things. 12 (B)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but show yourself as (C)a model to those who believe in word, conduct, (D)love, faith, and purity. 13 (E)Until I come, give attention to the public (F)reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift within you, which was given to you through (G)prophetic utterance with (H)the laying on of hands by the (I)council of elders. 15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. 16 (J)Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will (K)save both yourself and those who hear you.

New King James Version
11 These things command and teach.
Take Heed to Your Ministry
12 Let no one [a]despise your youth, but be an (A)example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, [b]in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to [c]doctrine. 14 (B)Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy (C)with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
