Be careful of how you live and what you believe. Never give up. Then you will save yourself and those who hear you.

Point out these things to the brothers and sisters. Then you will serve Christ Jesus well. You will show that you’ve grown in the truths of the faith. You will show that you’ve been trained by the good teaching you’ve obeyed.

Then we can give our attention to prayer and to teaching God’s word.”

Preach the word. Be ready to serve God in good times and bad. Correct people’s mistakes. Warn them. Encourage them with words of hope. Be very patient as you do these things. Teach them carefully.

The Berean Jews were very glad to receive Paul’s message. They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonian Jews.

These are the things you should teach. Encourage people and give them hope. Correct them with full authority. Don’t let anyone look down on you.

Brothers and sisters, what should we say then? When you come together, each of you brings something. You bring a hymn or a teaching or a message from God. You bring a message in another language or explain what was said in that language. Everything must be done to build up the church.

You study the Scriptures carefully. You study them because you think they will give you eternal life. The Scriptures you study are a witness about me.

Lord, I really love your law! All day long I spend time thinking about it.Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because your commands are always in my heart.I know more than all my teachers do, because I spend time thinking about your covenant laws.I understand more than the elders do, because I obey your rules.I’ve kept my feet from every path that sinners take so that I might obey your word.I haven’t turned away from your laws, because you yourself have taught me.Your words are very sweet to my taste! They are sweeter than honey to me.I gain understanding from your rules. So I hate every path that sinners take. Nun

Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.

Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy. They think about his law day and night.That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.

The king must keep the scroll close to him at all times. He must read it all the days of his life. Then he can learn to have respect for the Lord his God. He can carefully obey all the words of this law and these rules.

Do your best to please God. Be a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed. Teach the message of truth correctly.Stay away from godless chatter. Those who take part in it will become more and more ungodly.Their teaching will spread like a deadly sickness. Hymenaeus and Philetus are two of those teachers.

But the person who prophesies speaks to people. That person prophesies to make people stronger, to give them hope, and to comfort them.

“ Do you understand all these things?” Jesus asked.“ Yes,” they replied.He said to them,“ Every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house. He brings new treasures out of his storeroom as well as old ones.”

I hope I can come to you soon. But now I am writing these instructions to you.Then if I have to put off my visit, you will know how people should act in God’s family. The family of God is the church of the living God. It is the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Never stop reading this Book of the Law. Day and night you must think about what it says. Make sure you do everything written in it. Then things will go well with you. And you will have great success.

Brothers and sisters, suppose I were to come to you and speak in other languages. What good would I be to you? None! I would need to come with new truth or knowledge. Or I would need to come with a prophecy or a teaching.

Is it encouraging others? Then encourage them. Is it giving to others? Then give freely. Is it being a leader? Then work hard at it. Is it showing mercy? Then do it cheerfully.
