Contextual Overview

⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught. ⁷ But the silly tales of old women, shun thou; and occupy thyself with righteousness. ⁸ For, exercising the body is profitable a little while; but righteousness is every way profitable and hath promise of the life of the present time and of that to come. ⁹ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of reception. ¹⁰ For on this account, we toil and suffer reproach; because we trust in the living God, who is the life-giver of all men, especially of the believers. ¹¹ These things teach thou, and inculcate. ¹² And let no one despise thy youth; but be thou a pattern for the believers, in speech, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity. ¹³ Until I come, be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching. ¹⁴ Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, and by the laying on of the hand of the eldership. ¹⁵ On these things meditate; give thyself wholly to them: that it may be obvious to all that thou makest advances.
