A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, anourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.
7 But areject profane and old wives’ fables, and bexercise yourself toward godliness.
8 For abodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, bhaving promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
10 For to this end1 we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, awho is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
11 These things command and teach.
Take Heed to Your Ministry
12 Let no one1 despise your youth, but be an aexample to the believers in word, in conduct, in love,2 in spirit, in faith, in purity.
