'Teaching' in the Bible

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth.

and their teaching will spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus,

And the slave of the Lord must not quarrel, but be kind toward everyone, skillful in teaching, tolerant,

Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance,

But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,

Proclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching.

for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.

holding to the faithful message as taught, so that he will be able both to encourage with sound teaching and to refute those who contradict it.

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

But you must say the things that are consistent with sound teaching.

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.

in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity in your teaching.

or stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Tell them these things. Encourage and rebuke with full authority. Let no one disregard or despise you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect].

For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food.

By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

teaching about ritual washings, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

And we will do this [that is, proceed to maturity], if God permits.

And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.

For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

You, therefore, dear friends, having been warned beforehand, must continually be on your guard so as not to be led astray by the false teaching of immoral men nor fall from your own stedfastness.

My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

As for you, the Spirit which he gave you is still in you, and you have no need of any teacher; but as his Spirit gives you teaching about all things, and is true and not false, so keep your hearts in him, through the teaching which he has given you.

By this we know [without any doubt] that we love the children of God: [expressing that love] when we love God and obey His commandments.

For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey].

And this is love: that we walk in accordance with His commandments and are guided continually by His precepts. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should [always] walk in love.

Anyone who does not remain in Christ’s teaching but goes beyond it, does not have God. The one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and don’t say, “Welcome,” to him;

But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.

In the same way, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.

I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known the deep things of Satan—as they say—I do not put any other burden on you.

Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.
