9 Bible Verses about Learning From Other People

Do the things that you learned, received, and heard from me, and that you saw me do. Then God who gives peace will be with you.

Now, brothers, for your benefit I have applied all this only to Apollos and myself, by using us as illustrations to teach you the old lesson, "Never go beyond the letter," and to keep any of you from boasting of one teacher at the expense of another. For who sees anything special in you? And what have you got that you have not been given? But if it has been given you, why do you boast as though it had not been? Are you satisfied already? Have you become rich already? Have you entered your kingdom without waiting for us? I wish you had entered it, so that we might share it with you!read more.
For it seems to me, God has exhibited us apostles at the very end of the procession, like the men condemned to die in the arena. For we have become a spectacle to the whole universe, angels as well as men. We are made fools of, for the sake of Christ, while you are men of sense, through being united with him. We are weak, you are strong. You are distinguished, we are despised. To this day we have gone hungry, thirsty, and ill-clad; we have had rough usage, we have had no home, we have worked with our hands for a living. When people abuse us, we bless them, when they persecute us, we put up with it, when they slander us, we try to conciliate them. We have come to be like the scum of the earth, the dregs of the world, and we are so now. I do not write this to you to make you ashamed, but for your instruction as my dear children. For no matter how many guides you may have in the Christian life, you will not have many fathers; for in this matter of union with Christ, I became your father, through preaching the good news to you. So I urge you, follow my example.

You must follow my example in this, as I am following Christ's.

Follow my example, brothers, all of you, and notice those who follow the pattern we have set you.

For you know yourselves what you must do to follow my example, for I was not idle when I was with you; I did not eat anybody's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor I worked night and day, in order not to be a burden to any of you. Not that I had not a right to my support, but to give you in my own conduct an example to imitate.

Women must listen quietly in church and be perfectly submissive.

If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety in the treatment of their own families, and to return the care of those who brought them up, for that is what God approves.

But you must stand by what you have learned and been convinced of, and remember from whom you learned it,

The things you learned from me before many witnesses you must commit to trustworthy men who will be capable of teaching others.
