1 Timothy 4:11-16 covers the topic of "A Pattern of Godliness." While the preceding section emphasized "Training for Godliness," this section looks at what that training will produce. Therefore, we are governed by the idea that We all must establish a pattern of godliness in our lives. In these verses there are NINE imperatives that will help of accomplish this goal which are broken down into four categories.

In v. 11 we looked at the first two imperatives with the idea that 1) We can establish a pattern of godliness by becoming teachers of godliness.

In v. 12 we saw that 2) We can establish a pattern of Godliness by being a living example of it.

Then, in vv. 13-15 we learned that 3) We can establish a pattern of Godliness through consistent devotion to the affairs of the Church.

And now, in v. 16 we see that 4) We can establish a pattern of Godliness through constant accountability.
