παράγγελλε ταῦτα. These things command; sc. the mode and measure of bodily discipline which has been under discussion. The recurrence is noteworthy of the somewhat vague ταῦτα (1 Timothy 3:14; 1 Timothy 4:6; 1 Timothy 4:15; 1 Timothy 5:7; 1 Timothy 6:3) as the counterpart to the trivial teachings which are repudiated.

καὶ δίδασκε. And teach; i.e. the doctrine on which the practical rules of discipline depend. δίδασκε refers to the theory of conduct, παράγγελλε to practice.
