Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 4:13 Go To 1 Timothy 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Even Timothy is commanded to apply to reading. Let us then be instructed not to neglect the study of the sacred writings. Again, observe, he says, Till I come. Mark how he consoles him, for being as it were an orphan, when separated from him, it was natural that he should require such comfort. Till I come, he says, give attendance to reading the divine writings, to exhortation of one another, to teaching of all.
