54:004:007 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
54:004:008 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
54:004:009 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
54:004:010 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
54:004:011 These things command and teach.
54:004:012 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
54:004:013 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to
doctrine.
54:004:014 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
54:004:015 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that
thy profiting may appear to all.
54:004:016 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
