Paul's Manner of Life Ensample - Fully Known?

Part VII
What and How to Speak to Others

But... fully known...???
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
II Timothy 3:10

...After hearing parts I-VI...
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:18

...when you know it will cause you and / or your family to...
...stumble,
...not be edified,
...do something or be around something that isn't expedient,
...could put a power over you / family,
...do something that is just an occasion for the flesh,
then you must...
...Speak!

Speak for yourself - know what the Risen Saviour, rightly dividing, King James Bible is to you personally, not just what you are being taught!

Acts 26:1 - Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
II Corinthians 4:13 - We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
If it is all real in your life then you have something to tell that you believe, not just 'know' or 'been taught.'

Words of truth and soberness - can come off as crazy to some...

Acts 26:25 - But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

One book - one language - no 'other' commentaries, etc. to help YOU come to a conclusion...

I Corinthians 1:10 - Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
same mind - same judgment

one church, assembly, one baptism, one God, one Saviour, one Spirit, one music, one ... one ... one...
And it isn't man's love - or charity - or anything that stands above truth to be the 'one.' It can only be the the rightly divided KJB that gives us all the same thing!

We are to have charity in our conversation!

I Corinthians 13:1 - Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Colossians 4:6: Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

We have this wisdom now in our King James Bible.

I Corinthians 2:7 - But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

When we speak these things, they often feel shame - thus their hard defense they put up - that ole wall that won't let us in!

I Corinthians 15:34 - Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Do our best to speak the Scriptures, not our opinions or others, etc.

I Corinthians 2:13 - Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

God knows all that we speak - and how we speak, etc.

II Corinthians 2:17 - For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
God also knows what they are speaking, etc.

We OUGHT to speak boldly!

Ephesians 6:20 - For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

But bold isn't loud - it is saying what needs to be said when it may not be well received or appreciated, not shouting it or screaming at them against their will - or striving!
for being bold, tell a working lady these - see Titus 2:5 - I Timothy 5:14,15

Philippians 1:14 - And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Sometimes you need to bring it up 'again' in your conversation, even though they didn't accept it the first time.

I Thessalonians 2:2 - But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

Speak the truth to a fellow brother!

Ephesians 4:25 - Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
If we only would be willing to put down our pride, conceit, anger, etc....

We say these things of a rightly divided KJB not to destroy, but to edify!

II Corinthians 7:3 - I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
I Corinthians 7:35 - And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
II Corinthians 10:8 - For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
II Corinthians 13:10 - Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Some things we just don't talk about!

Ephesians 5:12 - For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
So why do we show them what they do and who they are and what they look like and have to watch their actions when on the street, or at the 'fair' or those other forms of entertainment, for example?

Paul DOES explain the church - universal and local - but how Christ does that, that is a mystery.

Ephesians 5:32 - This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
However, local assembly church does not have to be difficult to figure out.

Pray for that door of utterance to speak a specific thing - PAUL - even if it isn't received well.

Colossians 4:3 - Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

We live what we speak!

Colossians 4:4 - That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Some times you won't have to say a thing!

I Thessalonians 1:8 - For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

Speak to please God, not man - but often time we have to speak God's way to make sure someone will actually listen.

I Thessalonians 2:4 - But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
We can't always MAKE them listen, so we must use wisdom.

This is what is happening with a lot of pastors / neighbors, etc.

I Thessalonians 2:16 - Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
They go out of their way to make sure we can't talk to them!

Through it all, we still must try to maintain peace...

Titus 3:2 - To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

Speak sound doctrine...

Titus 2:1 - But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

the word "Sound:"

Founded in truth; firm; strong; valid; solid; that cannot be overthrown or refuted; as sound reasoning; a sound argument; a sound objection; sound doctrine; sound principles.
Right; correct; well founded; free from error
Founded in right and law; legal; valid; not defective; that cannot be overthrown; as a sound title to land; sound justice.
Perfect, as intellect; not broken or defective; not enfeebled by age or accident; not wild or wandering; not deranged; as a sound mind; a sound understanding or reason.

If it is not sound doctrine according to Paul, it is a doctrine of devils.

I Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Even if a certain doctrine was TRUE for that dispensation, if it is taught today, it would be the devil trying to teach a false doctrine today.
Most false teachings 'from the Bible' are truths taught from a different dispensation that today's 'dispensation of grace!'

Exhort with doctrine

II Timothy 4:2 - Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

All scripture teaches doctrine for all dispensations, too

II Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Mark them that cause divisions and offences contrary to what Paul preaches

Romans 16:17 - Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Not be blown about with every wind of doctrine

Ephesians 4:14 - That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Preachers and street preachers seem to have forgotten about edifying through Paul these days...

I Corinthians 14:26 - How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
I Corinthians 4:17 - For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

No other doctrine other than Paul's

I Timothy 1:3 - As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

Give attendance to doctrine

I Timothy 4:13 - Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Doctrine for yourself will show others a good testimony

I Timothy 4:16 - Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

For those who don't follow Paul's doctrine, God has some serious descriptions for them (see verses 4,5)

I Timothy 6:3 - If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

Do you fully know Paul's doctrine?

II Timothy 3:10 - But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

Has the time come that folks WILL not endure sound doctrine?

II Timothy 4:3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Even the gainsayers can't be convinced anymore these days - there are too many other bibles and teachings that have 'proven' their religion by sight, prosperity & good sensual feelings!

Faith & trust in what God says which brings persecution from others has almost totally disappeared.
Or they just don't believe in God and his goodness anymore!
Titus 1:9 - Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Titus 2:15

See Part VIII to continue the next point about not being able to live peaceably with someone.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:18

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us! We learn from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
