And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

MEM. O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

To exhortation

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

To doctrine

If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.

Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in languages, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
