To the young or inexperienced
1 Timothy 4:12-16
Beloved,
give no one cause to look down on you
just because you’re young or inexperienced.
Set a good example
by the way you speak, act,
and show love, faith, and
wholesome behavior.
Keep reading God’s word
before teaching
or exhorting anyone else.
And do not neglect
the God-given gift
you have received –
conferred to you
through the church.
Practice these things.
Be committed to them.
Then your spiritual growth
will be a blessing to everyone.
Take care of yourself
and what you say
in teaching others.
As you keep on doing
your work in the Lord,
you’ll receive saving grace
for yourself and all who listen.
© 2015, Mary Sayler prayer-a-phrased these words from today’s Epistle reading in 1 Timothy by drawing on a variety of translations on Bible Gateway.
