Colossians 1:23
23 provided that you persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, am a minister.
Colossians 4:15-18
15 Give greetings to the brothers in Laodicea and to Nympha and to the church in her house. 16 And when this letter is read before you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and you yourselves read the one from Laodicea.
1 Thessalonians 2:2-4,13
2 Rather, after we had suffered and been insolently treated, as you know, in Philippi, we drew courage through our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much struggle. 3 Our *exhortation *was not from delusion or impure motives, nor did it work through deception. 4 But as *we *were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the gospel, that is how we speak, not as trying to please human beings, but rather God, who judges our hearts. 13 And for this reason we too give thanks to God unceasingly, that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us, you received not a human word but, as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in you who believe
1 Thessalonians 5:27
27 I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers.
2 Thessalonians 3:4,6,8 We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you , you are doing, and will continue to do. 6 We *instruct *you, brothers, in the name of (our) Lord Jesus Christ,to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us
1 Timothy 1:3,7
3 I repeat the request I made of you when I was on my way to Macedonia, that you stay in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to teach false doctrines 7 wanting to be teachers of the law, but without understanding either what they are saying or what they assert with such assurance.
1 Timothy 4:6-15
6 If you will give these instructions to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching you have followed. 11 Command and teach these things. 13 Until I arrive, attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate.
1 Timothy 4:16
16 Attend to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
2 Timothy 1:13
13 Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:2
2 And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well.
2 Timothy 2:14,15
14 Remind people of these things and charge them before God to stop disputing about words. This serves no useful purpose since it harms those who listen.15 Be eager to present yourself as acceptable to God, a workman who causes no disgrace, imparting the word of truth without deviation.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers 4 and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
