11 Be commanding and teaching these things. 12 Let no one be-looking-down-on[a] your youth, but be a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come[b], be paying-attention-to the reading[c], the exhortation, the teaching. 14 Do not be careless[d] of the gift in you, which was given to you through a prophecy with the laying-on of the hands of the council-of-elders. 15 Be taking-care-with these things, be in these things, in order that your progress may be evident to everyone. 16 Be fixing-your-attention-on yourself and your teaching. Be continuing in them. For while doing this, you will save both yourself and the ones hearing you.
