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.

1 Timothy 4:11-16
New Living Translation
11 Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 13 Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you. 15 Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
