Bible Note: Hi M.Royal, I like your postings but experience has shown that very few will actually look up the verses suggested and read them unless they are written out in full on the forum. II Tim. 2:24,25 Or 2 Tim. 2:24-25 (KJV) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; The object is to preach the word not, just an address. 2 Tim. 4:2 (KJV) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Addresses in the Bible, i.e. chapters and verses, weren’t even in existence when this was commanded. For what it's worth, CDBJ |
