Take heed unto thyself; take heed how thou livest, and orderest thy life, that it may be exemplary.
And unto the doctrine; and take heed also both that thou teachest, and what thou teachest.
Continue in them; and do both these things not for a time, but constantly.
For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee; thus thou shalt do what in thee lieth to save thine own soul, and also to save the souls of others to whom thou preachest, or among whom thou conversest.
