But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;
Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.
“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it.
for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of those that believe.
Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the elderhood.
Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you.
Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that thy progress may be manifest to all.
Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress.
