5. 12 Don’t let anyonethink less of you just
because you are young but be a patternfor the
believers in what you say and how you live,
with love, faith and purity.
13 Until I come give attentionto the public
reading of Scripture, to exhortation and
teaching.

6. 14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift imparted to
you through prophecy when the elders laid
their hands on you. 15 Think about these
things and give yourself to them totally so
that your growth and development will be
obvious to everyone.

7. 16 Keep a close watch on your own life and
follow the teaching carefully, thoroughly and
continuously.If you persevere with these
things you will save both yourself and those
who listen to you.
