II Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV)
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Today I have included a group of short statements related to the scripture in I Timothy from the Spirit-Filled Life Bible. Meditate on them.
4:7,8 Recognize that godliness is necessary to this life and to life eternal. Be disciplined in body, soul, and spirit.
4:12 Conduct yourself in an exemplary manner in every detail of your life.
4:3-5 Reject teaching that bases holiness on works. Receive thankfully the natural blessings from God. Sanctify by prayer what you so receive.
!:3-7 Teach only sound, thoroughly biblical doctrine. Do not attempt to teach what you do not fully understand. Operate from a motive of love, faith, and good conscience in all you do.
4:1,2 Be warned that some will abandon faith in Jesus Christ for demonically inspired teaching. Understand that hypocrisy is an open door to deceiving spirits. Liars will believe “the lie.”
1:8-11 Recognize that the law is to instruct and judge the ungodly, not to induce condemnation in the righteous.
6:20,21 Guard carefully the truth you have been taught! Reject human knowledge that denies the faith.
