13 Continue to read the Scriptures to the people, strengthen them, and teach them. Do these things until I come. 14 Remember to use the gift that you have. That gift was given to you through a prophecy when the group of elders laid their hands on[a] you. 15 Continue to do those things. Give your life to doing them. Then everyone can see that your work is progressing.
