1Timothy4:11-16 These things command and teach. 12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Some forbid as evil what God has allowed, and command as a duty what he has left indifferent. **We find exercise for watchfulness and self-denial, in attending to the requirements of Gods law, without being tasked to imaginary duties... which reject what He has allowed. But nothing justifies an improper use of things...and nothing will be good for us, unless we seek by prayer for the Lords blessing upon it.\0/ Outward acts of self-denial profit little. What will it avail us to mortify the body, if we do not mortify sin? No diligence in outward things will be of much use. Give us eyes to see, and ears to hear!!
