Jesus then went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the
sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority.
[LK 4:31-32]
While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of
Gennesaret. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
[LK 5:1,3]
One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the
law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee
and Judea and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was with him
for healing. [LK 5:17]
No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained,
every disciple will be like his teacher. [LK 6:40]
Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to
say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. "Two
people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred
days' wages and the other owed fifty. Since they were unable to
repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love
him more?" Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose,
whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You
have judged rightly." [LK 7:40-43]
On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large
crowd met him. There was a man in the crowd who cried out,
"Teacher, I beg you, look at my son; he is my only child. For
a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams and it convulses him
until he foams at the mouth; it releases him only with difficulty,
wearing him out. I begged your disciples to cast it out but they
could not." Jesus said in reply, "O faithless and
perverse generation, how long will I be with you and endure you?
Bring your son here." As he was coming forward, the demon
threw him to the ground in a convulsion; but Jesus rebuked the
unclean spirit, healed the boy, and returned him to his father.
And all were astonished by the majesty of God. While they were all
amazed at his every deed, he said to his disciples, "Pay
attention to what I am telling you. The Son of Man is to be handed
over to men." But they did not understand this saying; its
meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand
it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. [LK 9:37-45]
There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."
[LK 10:25-28]
He was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished,
one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray
just as John taught his disciples." He said to them,
"When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your
name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and
forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt
to us, and do not subject us to the final test." [LK
11:1-4]
"When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the
Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say."
[LK 12:11-12]
He passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and
making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, "Lord, will
only a few people be saved?" He answered them, "Strive
to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will
attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master
of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand
outside knocking and saying, 'Lord, open the door for us.' He will
say to you in reply, 'I do not know where you are from.' And you
will say, 'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our
streets.' Then he will say to you, 'I do not know where (you) are
from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!' And there will be
wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you
yourselves cast out." [LK 13:22-28]
So they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the colt,
and helped Jesus to mount. As he rode along, the people were
spreading their cloaks on the road; and now as he was approaching
the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of his
disciples began to praise God aloud with joy for all the mighty
deeds they had seen. They proclaimed: "Blessed is the
king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory
in the highest." Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to
him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He said in reply,
"I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry
out!"
[LK 19:35-40]
And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.
[LK 19:47-48]
One day as he was teaching the people in the temple area and
proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and scribes, together
with the elders, approached him and said to him, "Tell us, by
what authority are you doing these things? Or who is the one who
gave you this authority?" He said to them in reply, "I
shall ask you a question. Tell me, was John's baptism of heavenly
or of human origin?" They discussed this among themselves,
and said, "If we say, 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say, 'Why
did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'Of human origin,' then
all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was
a prophet." So they answered that they did not know from
where it came. Then Jesus said to them, "Neither shall I tell
you by what authority I do these things."
[LK 20:1-8]
They watched him closely and sent agents pretending to be
righteous who were to trap him in speech, in order to hand him
over to the authority and power of the governor. They posed this
question to him, "Teacher, we know that what you say and
teach is correct, and you show no partiality, but teach the way of
God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful for us to pay
tribute to Caesar or not?" Recognizing their craftiness he
said to them, "Show me a denarius; whose image and name does
it bear?" They replied, "Caesar's." So he said to
them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God
what belongs to God." They were unable to trap him by
something he might say before the people, and so amazed were they
at his reply that they fell silent.
[LK 20:20-26]
Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
came forward and put this question to him, saying, "Teacher,
Moses wrote for us, 'If someone's brother dies leaving a wife but
no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants
for his brother.' Now there were seven brothers; the first married
a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married
her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman
also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be?
For all seven had been married to her." Jesus said to them,
"The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who
are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the
resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the
children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the
dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the
bush, when he called 'Lord' the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the
living, for to him all are alive." Some of the scribes said
in reply, "Teacher, you have answered well." And they no
longer dared to ask him anything. [LK 20:27-40]
He taught them a lesson. "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
"[LK 21:29-31]
During the day, Jesus was teaching in the temple area, but at night he would leave and stay at the place called the Mount of Olives.
And all the people would get up early each morning to listen to him in the temple area.
[LK 21:37-38]
Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said to him in reply, "You say so." Pilate then addressed the chief priests and the crowds, "I find this man not guilty." But they were adamant and said, "He is inciting the people with his teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to here."
[LK 23:3-5]
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of
God." The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
[JN 1:35-38]
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him."
[JN 3:1-2]
Jesus answered and said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from
above." Nicodemus said to him, "How can a person once
grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother's
womb and be born again, can he?" Jesus answered, "Amen,
amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without
being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and
what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told
you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it wills,
and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it
comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of
the Spirit." Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How
can this happen?" Jesus answered and said to him, "You
are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this?" [JN
3:3-10]
Jesus answered and said to them, "Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me."
[JN 6:43-45]
Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you
eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not
have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my
flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my
flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the
living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so
also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is
the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who
ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live
forever." These things he said while teaching in the
synagogue in Capernaum. [JN 6:53-59]
When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the
temple area and began to teach. The Jews were amazed and said,
"How does he know scripture without having studied?"
Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not my own but
is from the one who sent me. Whoever chooses to do his will shall
know whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.
Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks
the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no
wrong in him."
[JN 7:14-18]
So some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, "Is he not
the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly
and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized
that he is the Messiah? But we know where he is from. When the
Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus
cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said,
"You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not
come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is
true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." [JN
7:25-29]
So Jesus said, "I will be with you only a little while longer, and then I will go to the one who sent me. You will look for me but not find (me), and where I am you cannot come." So the Jews said to one another, "Where is he going that we will not find him? Surely he is not going to the dispersion
among the Greeks to teach the Greeks, is he?"
[JN 7:33-35]
But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area,
and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and
taught them. [JN 8:2]
"And even if I should judge, my judgment is valid, because
I am not alone, but it is I and the Father who sent me. Even in
your law it is written that the testimony of two men can be
verified. I testify on my behalf and so does the Father who sent
me." So they said to him, "Where is your father?"
Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father. If you
knew me, you would know my Father also." He spoke these words
while teaching in the treasury in the temple area. But no one
arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
[JN 8:16-20]
So Jesus said (to them), "When you lift up the Son of Man,
then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own,
but I say only what the Father taught me." [JN 8:28]
"We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where
this one is from." The man answered and said to them,
"This is what is so amazing, that you do not know where he is
from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to
sinners, but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to
him. It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person
born blind. If this man were not from God, he would not be able to
do anything." They answered and said to him, "You were
born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?" Then
they threw him out. When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out,
he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of
Man?" He answered and said, "Who is he, sir, that I may
believe in him?" Jesus said to him, "You have seen him
and the one speaking with you is he." He said, "I do
believe, Lord," and he worshiped him. [JN 9:29-38]
You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed
I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your
feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a
model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also
do. Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master
nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you
understand this, blessed are you if you do it. [JN 13:13-17]
The Advocate, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my
name - he will teach you everything and remind you of all that (I)
told you. [JN 14:26]
The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about
his doctrine. Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to
the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple
area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing.
Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know
what I said." When he had said this, one of the temple guards
standing there struck Jesus and said, "Is this the way you
answer the high priest?" Jesus answered him, "If I have
spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken
rightly, why do you strike me?" Then Annas sent him bound to
Caiaphas the high priest. [JN 18:19-24]
When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni,"
which means Teacher.
[JN 20:14-16]
In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the
Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. [ACTS 1:1-2]
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day. They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.
[ACTS 2:41-42]
While they were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees
confronted them, disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, since it was already evening.
But many of those who heard the word came to believe and (the) number of men grew to (about) five thousand. [ACTS
4:1-4]
Then when they saw the man who had been cured standing there
with them, they could say nothing in reply. So they ordered them
to leave the Sanhedrin, and conferred with one another, saying,
"What are we to do with these men? Everyone living in
Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign was done through them, and
we cannot deny it. But so that it may not be spread any further
among the people, let us give them a stern warning never again to
speak to anyone in this name." So they called them back and
ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Peter and John, however, said to them in reply, "Whether it
is right in the sight of God for us to obey you rather than God,
you be the judges. It is impossible for us not to speak about what
we have seen and heard." [ACTS 4:14-20]
Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is,
the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands
upon the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the
night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led
them out, and said, "Go and take your place in the temple
area, and tell the people everything about this life." When
they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and
taught. [Taken from ACTS 5:17-21]
Then someone came in and reported to them, "The men whom
you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the
people." Then the captain and the court officers went and
brought them in, but without force, because they were afraid of
being stoned by the people. When they had brought them in and made
them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them,
"We gave you strict orders (did we not?) to stop teaching in
that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and
want to bring this man's blood upon us." But Peter and the
apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed
by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of
sins. We are witnesses of these things, as is the Holy Spirit that
God has given to those who obey him." When they heard this,
they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death. But a
Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law,
respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put
outside for a short time, and said to them, "Fellow
Israelites, be careful what you are about to do to these men. Some
time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and
about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all
those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing.
After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He
also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were
loyal to him were scattered. So now I tell you, have nothing to do
with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this
activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it
comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even
find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by
him. After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered
them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. So
they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had
been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. And
all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not
stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus. [ACTS 5:25-42]
There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who
came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well,
proclaiming the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord was with them and
a great number who believed turned to the Lord. The news about
them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent
Barnabas (to go) to Antioch. When he arrived and saw the grace of
God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the
Lord in firmness of heart, for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit
and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him
he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the
church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch
that the disciples were first called Christians. [ACTS 11:20-26]
Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the
Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.
[ACTS 13:1-3]
But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of (the) Lord? Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand. When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.
[ACTS 13:9-12]
Since we have heard that some of our number (who went out)
without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings
and disturbed your peace of mind, we have with one accord decided
to choose representatives and to send them to you along with our
beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have dedicated their lives to the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. [ACTS 15:24-26]
But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and
proclaiming with many others the word of the Lord. [ACTS 15:35]
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he grew exasperated
at the sight of the city full of idols. So he debated in the
synagogue with the Jews and with the worshipers, and daily in the
public square with whoever happened to be there. Even some of the
Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion. Some
asked, "What is this scavenger trying to say?" Others
said, "He sounds like a promoter of foreign deities,"
because he was preaching about 'Jesus' and 'Resurrection.' They
took him and led him to the Areopagus and said, "May we learn
what this new teaching is that you speak of? For you bring some
strange notions to our ears; we should like to know what these
things mean." Now all the Athenians as well as the foreigners
residing there used their time for nothing else but telling or
hearing something new. [ACTS 17:16-21]
One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, "Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city." He settled there for a year and a half and taught the word of God among them. [ACTS
18:9-11]
A Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent
speaker, arrived in Ephesus. He was an authority on the
scriptures. He had been instructed in the Way of the Lord and,
with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus,
although he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak
boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him,
they took him aside and explained to him the Way (of God) more
accurately. And when he wanted to cross to Achaia, the brothers
encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him.
After his arrival he gave great assistance to those who had come
to believe through grace. He vigorously refuted the Jews in
public, establishing from the scriptures that the Messiah is
Jesus. [ACTS 18:24-28]
I served the Lord with all humility and with the tears and
trials that came to me because of the plots of the Jews, and I did
not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit, or
from teaching you in public or in your homes. I earnestly bore
witness for both Jews and Greeks to repentance before God and to
faith in our Lord Jesus. But now, compelled by the Spirit, I am
going to Jerusalem. What will happen to me there I do not know,
except that in one city after another the Holy Spirit has been
warning me that imprisonment and hardships await me. [ACTS 20:19-23]
They praised God when they heard it but said to him,
"Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are
from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the
law. They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews
who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are
telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their
customary practices. What is to be done? They will surely hear
that you have arrived. So do what we tell you. We have four men
who have taken a vow. Take these men and purify yourself with
them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads
shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to
the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself
live in observance of the law." [ACTS 21:20-24]
When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him, shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred
place." [ACTS 21:27-28]
Without reaching any agreement among themselves they began to
leave; then Paul made one final statement. "Well did the Holy Spirit
speak to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah, saying: 'Go to
this people and say: You shall indeed hear but not understand. You
shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this
people; they will not hear with their ears; they have closed their
eyes, so they may not see with their eyes and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal
them.' Let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been
sent to the Gentiles; they will listen." He remained for two
full years in his lodgings. He received all who came to him, and
with complete assurance and without hindrance he proclaimed the
kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. [ACTS 28:35-31]
Now if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of
God and know his will and are able to discern what is important
since you are instructed from the law, and if you are confident
that you are a guide for the blind and a light for those in
darkness, that you are a trainer of the foolish and teacher of the
simple, because in the law you have the formulation of knowledge
and truth - then you who teach another, are you failing to teach
yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who
forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do
you rob temples? You who boast of the law, do you dishonor God by
breaking the law? [ROM 2:17-23]
But thanks be to God that, although you were once slaves of
sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of
teaching to which you were entrusted. [ROM 6:17]
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them:
if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others,
with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
[ROM 12:6-8]
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create
dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you
learned; avoid them. [ROM 16:17]
Among human beings, who knows what pertains to a person except the spirit of the person that is within? Similarly, no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God. And we speak about them not with words taught by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, describing spiritual realities in spiritual
terms. [1COR 2:11-13]
For this reason I am sending you Timothy, who is my beloved and
faithful son in the Lord; he will remind you of my ways in Christ
(Jesus), just as I teach them everywhere in every church. [1COR
4:17]
Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears his hair long it is a disgrace to him, whereas if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because long hair has been given (her) for a covering?
[1COR 11:13-15]
Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it. Some
people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles;
second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts
of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work
mighty deeds? Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in
tongues? Do all interpret? Strive eagerly for the greatest
spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way.
[1COR 12:27-31]
Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus
Christ. For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I
persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy
it, and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries
among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral
traditions. [GAL 1:11-14]
And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as
evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy
ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son
of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of
Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and
swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery,
from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather,
living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who
is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and
held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper
functioning of each part, brings about the body's growth and
builds itself up in love.
[EPH 4:11-16]
So I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer
live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; darkened
in understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their
ignorance, because of their hardness of heart, they have become
callous and have handed themselves over to licentiousness for the
practice of every kind of impurity to excess. That is not how you
learned Christ, assuming that you have heard of him and were
taught in him, as truth is in Jesus, that you should put away the
old self of your former way of life, corrupted through deceitful
desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on
the new self, created in God's way in righteousness and holiness
of truth. [EPH 4:17-24]
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I
am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on
behalf of his body, which is the church, of which I am a minister
in accordance with God's stewardship given to me to bring to
completion for you the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages
and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his
holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory
of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope
for glory. It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and
teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone
perfect in Christ. [COL 1:24-28]
I say this so that no one may deceive you by specious
arguments. For even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you
in spirit, rejoicing as I observe your good order and the firmness
of your faith in Christ. So, as you received Christ Jesus the
Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him and
established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in
thanksgiving. See to it that no one captivate you with an empty,
seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to
the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. [COL
2:4-8]
If you died with Christ to the elemental powers of the world, why do you submit to regulations as if you were still living in the world?
"Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!" These are all things destined to perish with use; they accord with human precepts and teachings. [COL
2:20-22]
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom
you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and
spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. [COL 3:16]
On the subject of mutual charity you have no need for anyone to
write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one
another. [1THES 4:9]
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions
that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter
of ours. [2THES 2:15]
I repeat the request I made of you when I was on my way to
Macedonia, that you stay in Ephesus to instruct certain people not
to teach false doctrines or to concern themselves with myths and
endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the
plan of God that is to be received by faith. The aim of this
instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a
sincere faith. Some people have deviated from these and turned to
meaningless talk, wanting to be teachers of the law, but without
understanding either what they are saying or what they assert with
such assurance. We know that the law is good, provided that one
uses it as law, with the understanding that law is meant not for a
righteous person but for the lawless and unruly, the godless and
sinful, the unholy and profane, those who kill their fathers or
mothers, murderers, the unchaste, practicing homosexuals,
kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound
teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,
with which I have been entrusted. [1TM 1:3-11]
I entrust this charge to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophetic words once spoken about you. Through them may you fight a good fight by having faith and a good conscience. Some, by rejecting conscience, have made a shipwreck of their faith, among them Hymenaeus
and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. [1TM
1:18-20]
A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete
control. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority
over a man. She must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then
Eve. Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived
and transgressed. But she will be saved through motherhood,
provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with
self-control. [1TM 2:11-15]
If you will give these instructions to the brothers, you will
be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the
faith and of the sound teaching you have followed. Avoid profane
and silly myths. Train yourself for devotion, for, while physical
training is of limited value, devotion is valuable in every
respect, since it holds a promise of life both for the present and
for the future. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full
acceptance. For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our
hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of
those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one have
contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe,
in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I arrive,
attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching. Do not neglect
the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the
prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate.
Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your
progress may be evident to everyone. Attend to yourself and to
your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will
save both yourself and those who listen to you. [1TM 4:6-16]
Presbyters who preside well deserve double honor, especially
those who toil in preaching and teaching. [1TM 5:17]
Whoever teaches something different and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the religious teaching
is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid disposition for arguments and verbal disputes. From these come envy, rivalry, insults, evil suspicions, and mutual friction among people with corrupted minds, who are deprived of the truth, supposing religion to be a means of gain.
[1TM 6:3-5]
So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well.
[2TM 2:1-2]
Avoid profane, idle talk, for such people will become more and more godless, and their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have deviated from the truth by saying that (the) resurrection has already taken place and are upsetting the faith of some.
[2TM 2:16-18]
Avoid foolish and ignorant debates, for you know that they breed quarrels. A slave of the Lord should not quarrel, but should be gentle with everyone, able to teach, tolerant, correcting opponents with kindness. It may be that God will grant them repentance that leads to knowledge of the truth, and that they may return to their senses out of the devil's snare, where they are entrapped by him, for his will.
[2TM 2:23-26]
You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith,
patience, love, endurance, persecutions, and sufferings, such as
happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that
I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me. In
fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be
persecuted. But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to
worse, deceivers and deceived. But you, remain faithful to what
you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you
learned it, and that from infancy you have known (the) sacred
scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God
and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and
for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may
be competent, equipped for every good work. [2TM 3:10-17]
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who
will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his
kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is
convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through
all patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will
not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and
insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop
listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. But you, be
self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform
the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. [2TM 4:1-5]
For a bishop as God's steward must be blameless, not arrogant,
not irritable, not a drunkard, not aggressive, not greedy for
sordid gain, but hospitable, a lover of goodness, temperate, just,
holy, and self-controlled, holding fast to the true message as
taught so that he will be able both to exhort with sound doctrine
and to refute opponents. For there are also many rebels, idle
talkers and deceivers... It is imperative to silence them, as they
are upsetting whole families by teaching for sordid gain what they
should not. [Taken from TI 1:7-11]
As for yourself, you must say what is consistent with sound
doctrine, namely, that older men should be temperate, dignified,
self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance. Similarly,
older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers,
not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may
train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be
self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the control of
their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited.
Urge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves, showing
yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect, with integrity
in your teaching, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be
criticized, so that the opponent will be put to shame without
anything bad to say about us. [TI 2:1-8]
About this we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain,
for you have become sluggish in hearing. Although you should be
teachers by this time, you need to have someone teach you again
the basic elements of the utterances of God. You need milk, (and)
not solid food. Everyone who lives on milk lacks experience of the
word of righteousness, for he is a child. But solid food is for
the mature, for those whose faculties are trained by practice to
discern good and evil.
[HEB 5:11-14]
Therefore, let us leave behind the basic teaching about Christ and advance to maturity, without laying the foundation all over again: repentance from dead works and faith in God, instruction about baptisms
and laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And we shall do this, if only God permits. [HEB
6:1-3]
Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching.
It is good to have our hearts strengthened by grace and not by foods, which do not benefit those who live by them.
[HEB 13:7-9]
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you realize that we will be judged more strictly, for we all fall short in many respects. If anyone does not fall short in speech, he is a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body also.
[JMS 3:1-2]
There were also false prophets among the people, just as there
will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive
heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing
swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their licentious
ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. In
their greed they will exploit you with fabrications, but from of
old their condemnation has not been idle and their destruction
does not sleep. For if God did not spare the angels when they
sinned, but condemned them to the chains of Tartarus and handed
them over to be kept for judgment; and if he did not spare the
ancient world, even though he preserved Noah, a herald of
righteousness, together with seven others, when he brought a flood
upon the godless world; and if he condemned the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah (to destruction), reducing them to ashes, making them
an example for the godless (people) of what is coming; and if he
rescued Lot, a righteous man oppressed by the licentious conduct
of unprincipled people (for day after day that righteous man
living among them was tormented in his righteous soul at the
lawless deeds that he saw and heard), then the Lord knows how to
rescue the devout from trial and to keep the unrighteous under
punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who
follow the flesh with its depraved desire and show contempt for
lordship. [Taken from 2PT 2:1-10]
Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what
you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain
in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made
us: eternal life. I write you these things about those who would
deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you received from him
remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But
his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not
false; just as it taught you, remain in him.
[1JN 2:24-27]
Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see
whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone
out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God:
every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus
does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that,
as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world. You
belong to God, children, and you have conquered them, for the one
who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They
belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the
world, and the world listens to them. We belong to God, and anyone
who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to
God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth
and the spirit of deceit. [1JN 4:1-6]
Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not
acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh; such is the
deceitful one and the antichrist. Look to yourselves that you do
not lose what we worked for but may receive a full recompense.
Anyone who is so "progressive" as not to remain in the
teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the
teaching has the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and
does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him in your house or
even greet him; for whoever greets him shares in his evil works. [2JN
1:7-11]
"To the angel of the church in Pergamum, write this: 'The
one with the sharp two-edged sword says this: "I know that
you live where Satan's throne is, and yet you hold fast to my name
and have not denied your faith in me, not even in the days of
Antipas, my faithful witness, who was martyred among you, where
Satan lives. Yet I have a few things against you. You have some
people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who instructed
Balak to put a stumbling block before the Israelites: to eat food
sacrificed to idols and to play the harlot. Likewise, you also
have some people who hold to the teaching of (the) Nicolaitans.
Therefore, repent. Otherwise, I will come to you quickly and wage
war against them with the sword of my mouth."'" [RV 2:12-16]
"To the angel of the church in Thyatira, write this: 'The
Son of God, whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are
like polished brass, says this: "I know your works, your
love, faith, service, and endurance, and that your last works are
greater than the first. Yet I hold this against you, that you
tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who
teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat
food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent, but she
refuses to repent of her harlotry. So I will cast her on a sickbed
and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense
suffering unless they repent of her works. I will also put her
children to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I
am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of
you what your works deserve. But I say to the rest of you in
Thyatira, who do not uphold this teaching and know nothing of the
so-called deep secrets of Satan: on you I will place no further
burden, except that you must hold fast to what you have until I
come."'"To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the
end, I will give authority over the nations. He will rule
them with an iron rod. Like clay vessels will they be
smashed, just as I received authority from my Father. And to him I
will give the morning star. [RV 2:18-28]
