Contextual Overview

6 Having suggested these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, having been nourished by the Words of faith, and by the good doctrine which you have followed. 7 But refuse the profane and old-womanish tales. And exercise yourself to godliness. 8 For bodily exercise is profitable to a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life now, and of that coming. 9 Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance; 10 for to this we also labor and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Savior of all men, especially of believers. 11 Enjoin and teach these things. 12 Let no one despise your youth, but become an example of the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, attend to reading, to exhortation to the doctrine. 14 Do not be neglectful of the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the elderhood. 15 Give care to these things; be in these things in order that your progress may be plain in all.
