Exercise thyself unto godliness
Knowing it is profitable unto all men
Trusting in the living God
For this life and the one after it

Being an example of the believers
In word, conversation, and love
In spirit, faith and purity
Always looking up above

Giving attendance unto reading, 
To exhortation and to doctrine, taking heed
Occupying until He comes
Knowing he will provide to those that need

Meditation on these things
Giving yourself wholly, not in part
Desiring all His promises
Serving Him with all your heart

I Tim 4
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 

These things command and teach. 

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 

Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
