8. for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;
9. stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy;
10. for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men--especially of those believing.
11. Charge these things, and teach;
12. let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;
13. till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;
14. be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership;
15. of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;
16. take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.
