He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” / Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, the time of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, so that I may commission him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting.

1 Timothy 1:18–20
Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight, / holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith. / Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task. / An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, / not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.

Teach and encourage these principles. / If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,
2 Timothy 1:6–13
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. / For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. / So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner.
