11	Command and teach these things.
12	Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13	Till I come, attend to the public reading of scripture, to preaching, to teaching.
14	Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands upon you.
15	Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.
16	Take heed to yourself and to your teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.

45	"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46	Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing.
47	Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
48	But if that wicked servant says to himself, `My master is delayed,'
49	and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken,
50	the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know,
51	and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
