See on 1 Timothy 4:12.

ταῦτα is best connected with λάλει only, and referred to the positive instructions of chap. 2, “the things which befit the sound doctrine”; while παρακάλει and ἔλεγχε represent the two main functions of the pastor. See Titus 1:9.

ἐπιταγῆς : authority, imperio; πάσης ἐπιτ.: in the most authoritative manner possible; not to be connected with ἔλεγχε only.

μηδείς σου περιφρονείτω : another way of saying μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς. Do not permit thine authority to be despised, Be consistent. See 1 Timothy 4:12.
