Sound Doctrine

He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.

But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. …

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

…for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching

If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching, …

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
