1 Timothy 4:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ Teach these things and tell everyone to do what you say. ¹² Don't let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity.

¹³ Until I arrive, be sure to keep on reading the Scriptures in worship, and don't stop preaching and teaching.
