1 Timothy 4:11–16 ESV Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.Do:Influencing: making decisions, communicating those decisions, and motivating peopleOperating: the things you do to accomplish the missionImproving: the things you do to increase capability to accomplish current and future missions2 Peter 1:5–11 ESV For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.Follow Me!1 Corinthians 11:1 ESV Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.1 Corinthians 11What does it mean to follow someone?What is the implied and specific task in following?What does Jesus mean when He says, “Follow Me”?Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 28th Edition Chapter 4Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου
