1 Timothy 4:7-16 ▼

7 But cast awaye vngostly and olde wyves fables.Exercyse thy silfe vnto godlines.

8 For bodely exercise proffiteth lyttll: But godlines is good vnto all thynges as a thynge which hath promyses of the lyfe that is now and of the lyfe to come.

9 This is a sure sayinge and of all parties worthy to be receaved.

10 For therfore we laboure and suffre rebuke because we beleve in the livynge god which is the savioure of all men: but specially of those that beleve.

11 Suche thynges commaunde and teache.

12 Let no man despyse thy youth: but be vnto them that beleve an insample in worde in conversacion in love in sprete in fayth and in purenes.

13 Till I come geve attendaunce to redynge to exhortacion and to doctryne.

14 Despyse not the gyfte that is in ye which was geven the thorow prophesye and with layinge on of ye hondes of an elder.

15 These thynges exercyse and geve thy silfe vnto them that it maye be sene how thou profetest in all thinges.

16 Take hede vnto thy silfe and vnto learnynge and continue therin. For if thou shalt so do thou shalt save thy silfe and them that heare the.
