1 Timothy 4:11

Ver. 11. From the beginning of this new section to the end of the chapter, we have a series of practical exhortations to Timothy respecting his personal bearing and character: Charge these things, and teach; the things, namely, which had been mentioned in the immediately preceding verses, and which concerned the whole church of Christ involving serious dangers to be guarded against, and lines of duty to be resolutely pursued. On Timothy's part, therefore, there were both charges to be given respecting them, and principles as to truth and error to be taught.
