1 Timothy 4:6-16
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

6:

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.

7:

8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

8:

9 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

9:

10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

10:

11 These things command and teach.

11:

12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

12:

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

13:

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.

14:

15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

15:

16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

16:
