2 Timothy 1:6

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

Don’t quench the Spirit.

But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you,

Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh your God,

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.

Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it.

Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith—

If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don’t argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.

But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.”

of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
