We should develop our knowledge of the Bible.

We should stir one another up to good works not to strife, envy, confusion and discontentment.

Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. 17 It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do.

For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

8 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
