| tit:2:7 | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, |
| 1pe:5:3 | Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. |

| 4:13 | Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. |

| 4:15 | Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. |
| 4:16 | Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. |
