Contextual Overview
6 If you put the brothers in mind of these things, you shall be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed [until now]: 7 but refuse profane and old wives' fables. And exercise yourself to godliness: 8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come. 9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Don't neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Be diligent in these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your progress may be manifest to all.
