11 Command and teach these things.
12 Let no one despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Until I come, give your attention to public reading, exhortation, and teaching.
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you; it was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.
15 Practice these things; be committed to them, so that your progress may be evident to all.
16 Pay close attention to your life and your teaching; persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.
