Proverbs 1:1-5
English Standard Version
The Beginning of Knowledge
1 (A)The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction,
to understand words of insight,
3 to receive instruction in wise dealing,
in (B)righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 to give prudence to (C)the simple,
knowledge and (D)discretion to the youth—
5 Let the wise hear and (E)increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance,
Ephesians 4:20-24
English Standard Version
20 But that is not the way you (A)learned Christ!— 21 assuming that (B)you have heard about him and (C)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to (D)put off (E)your old self,[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through (F)deceitful desires, 23 and (G)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on (H)the new self, (I)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

1 Timothy 4:11-15
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.
