1 Timothy 4:14

4:14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have, ¹  given to you and confirmed by prophetic words ²  when the elders laid hands on you. ³ 

[4:14]  ¹ tn Grk “in you.”

[4:14]  ² tn Grk “which was given to you through prophecy.” Here as in 2:15 the preposition “through” denotes not “means” but accompanying circumstances: “accompanied by prophecy.”

[4:14]  ³ tn Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders).
