This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

To reading (ἀναγνώσει)

Three times in N.T. See Act 13:15; 2Co 3:14. The verb ἀναγινώσκειν usually of public reading. See on Luk 4:16. So in lxx. In post-classical Greek, sometimes of reading aloud with comments. See Epictetus, Diss. 3, 23, 20. Dr. Hatch says: “It is probable that this practice of reading with comments... may account for the coordination of 'reading' with 'exhortation' and 'teaching' in 1Ti 4:13.”

Exhortation (τῇ παρακλήσει)

Often in Paul. See on consolation, Luk 6:24, see on comfort, Act 9:31, and see on comforter, Joh 14:16.
