1 Thessalonians 1:1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.1 Thessalonians 2:14For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,1 Thessalonians 2:15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,1 Thessalonians 4:9Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.1 Thessalonians 5:12But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.1 Thessalonians 5:13In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.1 Thessalonians 5:14And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.2 Thessalonians 1:1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:2 Thessalonians 3:6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.2 Thessalonians 3:14Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.2 Thessalonians 3:15Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.1 Timothy 1:19holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.1 Timothy 1:20Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.1 Timothy 3:1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task.1 Timothy 3:2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,1 Timothy 3:3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.1 Timothy 3:4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity.1 Timothy 3:5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God?1 Timothy 3:6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.1 Timothy 3:7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.1 Timothy 3:8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.1 Timothy 3:9They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.1 Timothy 3:10Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.1 Timothy 3:11In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.1 Timothy 3:12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.1 Timothy 3:13For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.1 Timothy 3:14Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things1 Timothy 3:15in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.1 Timothy 4:14Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.1 Timothy 5:1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,1 Timothy 5:2older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.1 Timothy 5:17Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.1 Timothy 5:19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.1 Timothy 5:20But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.1 Timothy 5:22Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.1 Timothy 6:3If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,1 Timothy 6:4he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,1 Timothy 6:5and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.2 Timothy 1:6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.2 Timothy 2:3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 4:2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.2 Timothy 4:7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.Titus 1:5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.Titus 1:13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faithTitus 2:15Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.Titus 3:10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,Titus 3:11knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.Philemon 1:2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:Hebrews 3:3For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.Hebrews 3:6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.Hebrews 8:2and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.Hebrews 8:5The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”Hebrews 9:1Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.Hebrews 9:2A tabernacle was prepared. In its first room were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.Hebrews 9:11But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.Hebrews 9:12He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.Hebrews 9:25Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.Hebrews 10:21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,Hebrews 10:25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Hebrews 12:22Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
