V7 - Endure it as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father doe...

V13 - Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them. V14 - Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecies spoken to you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you. V15 - Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isaiah 44:22 I have swept away your sins like the morning mists.
