Thou put

So be alert! Remember that for three years, night and day, I never stopped tearfully warning each of you.

However, on some points I have written to you rather boldly, both as a reminder to you and because of the grace given me by God

That's why I sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and dependable son in the Lord and will help you remember how I live for the Messiah Jesus as I teach everywhere in every church.

For this reason, I am reminding you to fan into flames the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands.

Remind others about these things, and warn them before God not to argue over words. Arguing does not do any good but only destroys those who are listening.

Therefore, I intend to keep on reminding you about these things, even though you already know them and are firmly established in the truth that you now have.

Dear friends, this is now the second of two letters I am writing to you, in which I have been trying to stimulate your pure minds by reminding you

Now I want to remind you, even though you are fully aware of these things, that the Lord who once saved his people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe.

A good

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

Think of us as servants of the Messiah and as servant managers entrusted with God's secrets.

who has also qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, which is not written but spiritual, because the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

Instead, in every way we demonstrate that we are God's servants by tremendous endurance in the midst of difficulties, hardships, and calamities;

So that you may know what has happened to me and how I am doing, Tychicus, our dear brother and a faithful minister in service to the Lord, will tell you everything.

Tychicus will tell you everything that has happened to me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

and send Timothy, our brother who works with us for God in the gospel of the Messiah, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,

Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.

Nourished

Your words were found, and I consumed them. Your words were joy and my hearts delight, because I bear your name, LORD God of the Heavenly Armies.

Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah,

He does not hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, which is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God enables it.

Let the word of the Messiah inhabit you richly with wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and found to be true, because you know from whom you learned it.

Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation.

Good doctrine

for those involved in sexual immorality, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for false witnesses, and for whatever else goes against the healthy teaching

Pay close attention to your life and your teaching. Persevere in these things, because if you do so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

If anyone teaches false doctrine and refuses to agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and godly teaching,

The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring life. The testimony of the LORD is steadfast, making foolish people wise.

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

For the time will come when people will not tolerate healthy doctrine, but with itching ears will surround themselves with teachers who cater to their people's own desires.

But as for you, teach what is consistent with healthy doctrine.

Everyone who does not remain true to the teaching of the Messiah, but goes beyond it, does not have God. The person who remains true to the teaching of the Messiah has both the Father and the Son.

Thou hast

However, we should live up to what we have achieved so far.

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and found to be true, because you know from whom you learned it.
