THE MESSAGE
Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.

Simplified Cowboy Version
These are the things I want you to teach and tell people.

Contextual Overview

⁶ If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide: ⁷ But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion: ⁸ For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come. ⁹ This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith. ¹⁰ And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith. ¹¹ Let these be your orders and your teaching. ¹² Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living. ¹³ Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching. ¹⁴ Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you. ¹⁵ Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These things command and teach. What are to be commanded, command, and what are to be taught, teach; command to refuse and reject all profane and fabulous doctrines, and exhort to the exercise of true godliness, and teach the profitableness of that, and declare the promises made unto it, and assert the truth and acceptableness of them; command, order, and encourage believers to labour and suffer reproach for the sake of Christ, and his Gospel, in hope of enjoying the said promises, and teach them to trust in the God of their lives, and the Saviour of all men; and whereas to this authoritative way of teaching, Timothy's youth might be objected by himself, and others; it follows,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These things command and teach - As important doctrines, and as embracing the sum of the Christian system. It follows from this, that a minister of the gospel is solemnly bound to teach that there is a sense in which God is the Saviour of all people. He is just as much bound to teach this, as he is that only those will be saved who believe. It is a glorious truth - and it is a thing for which a man should unceasingly give thanks to God that he may go and proclaim that He has provided salvation for all, and is willing that all should come and live.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 11. These things command and teach. — Let it be the sum and substance of thy preaching, that true religion is profitable for both worlds; that vice destroys both body and soul; that Christ tasted death for every man; and that he saves to the uttermost all them that believe in his name.
