1 Timothy 4:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Do not let anyone ·treat you as if you are unimportant [despise/disregard/look down on you] because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your ·actions [conduct; behavior], your love, your ·faith [faithfulness], and your ·pure life [purity]. ¹³ Until I come, ·continue to read the Scriptures to the people [attend/devote yourself to the public reading (of Scripture)], ·strengthen [encourage; exhort] them, and teach them. ¹⁴ ·Use [^LDo not neglect] the ·gift from the Spirit [spiritual gift; ^Lgift] ·you have [that is in you], which was given to you through prophecy when the group of elders laid their hands on you [^Ca way of dedicating someone to Christian service; 1:18; 5:22].
