First Reading for Thursday of the 24th Week in Ordinary Time I

1 Timothy 4:12-16

Summary: Stay dedicated to your calling, setting an example in all things, and focus on teaching and personal growth, as this will benefit both you and those who follow your guidance.

Stay True to Your Calling

Beloved: Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I arrive, attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands by the presbyterate.

Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to everyone. Attend to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
