1 Timothy 4:11-16
New American Standard Bible
11 [a](A)Prescribe and teach these things. 12 (B)Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, (C)love, faith, and purity, show yourself (D)an example [b]of those who believe. 13 (E)Until I come, give your attention to the public [c](F)reading, to exhortation, and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was granted to you through words of (G)prophecy with (H)the laying on of hands by the [d](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 the teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will (K)save both yourself and those who hear you.

American Standard Version
11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 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 Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all. 16 Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.
