1 Timothy 4:12-16 (view passage online)
This message stresses that a minister’s first duty is to study and teach the Scriptures, which is how he protects both himself and the church from false teaching. He must be an example in conduct and devote himself completely to God’s Word, because the health of the church flows from its leaders’ commitment to biblical truth over worldly wisdom.
