Ensinar
Ensinar é mandamento e dom. A Bíblia exorta pais, líderes e mestres a transmitir a verdade divina com fidelidade, paciência e sabedoria para as próximas gerações.
Ensinar a Palavra
Toda Escritura é útil para ensinar. Quem ouve as palavras de Jesus e as pratica é como o homem sábio que construiu sobre a rocha.
For all scripture inspired of God is profitable to teach, to reprove, to chastise, [for] to learn in rightwiseness,
that the man of God be perfect, learned to all good work[s].
Therefore every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them, shall be made like to a wise man, that hath builded his house on a stone.
The word of Christ dwell in you plenteously, in all wisdom; and teach and admonish yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord.
For whatever things be written, those be written to our teaching, that by patience and comfort of scriptures we have hope.
The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel;
to know wisdom and knowing; to understand the words of prudence;
and to take the learning of teach-ing; to take rightfulness [or rightwise-ness], and doom, and equity;
that fellness, or wariness, be given to little children, and knowing and understanding to a young waxing man.
A wise man hearing shall be the wiser; and a man understanding shall hold governance.
He shall perceive a parable, and the expounding; the words of wise men, and the dark figurative speeches of them.
The dread of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; fools despise wisdom and teaching.
Instruir as gerações
Ensina a criança nos caminhos de Deus. A geração que não conhece o Senhor perde a herança espiritual da fé.
Thou shalt love thy Lord God of all thine heart, and of all thy soul, and of all thy strength.
And these words which I command to thee today, shall be in thine heart;
and thou shalt tell those [or them] to thy sons, and thou shalt think upon them, sitting in thine house, and going in the way, lying down, and rising.
My son, hear thou the teaching of thy father, and forsake thou not the law of thy mother;
that grace be added, either increased, to thine head, and a bie to thy neck.
My son, keep the commandments of thy father; and forsake [thou] not the law of thy mother.
Bind thou those continually in thine heart; and encompass to thy throat.
When thou goest, go they with thee; when thou sleepest, keep they thee; and thou waking, speak with them.
For the commandment of God is a lantern, and the law is light, and the blaming of teaching is the way of life;
Wield thou wisdom, wield thou prudence; forget thou not, neither bow thou away from the words of my mouth.
Forsake thou not it, and it shall keep thee; love thou it, and it shall keep thee.
The beginning of wisdom, wield thou wisdom; and in all thy possession, get thou prudence.
Take thou it, and it shall enhance thee; thou shalt be glorified of it, when thou hast embraced it.
Hold thou teaching, and forsake [thou] it not; keep thou it, for it is thy life.
Delight thou not in the paths of wicked men; and the way of evil men please not thee.
With all keeping keep thine heart, for life cometh forth of it.
Remove thou a shrewd mouth from thee; and backbiting lips be far from thee.
Thine eyes see rightful [or right] things; and thine eyelids go before thy steps.
Address thou [the] paths to thy feet, and all thy ways shall be stablished.
Bow thou not to the right side, neither to the left side; turn away thy foot from evil.
The law of a wise man is a well of life; that he bow away from the falling of death, that is, of sin, and of hell.
The beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord; and prudence is the knowing of saints.
The learning of Asaph. My people, perceive ye my law; bow your ear into the words of my mouth.
I shall open my mouth in parables; I shall speak perfect reasons [or propositions] from the beginning.
How great things have we heard, and we have known those [or them]; and our fathers told to us.
Those [or They] be not hid from the sons of them; in another generation. And they told the praisings of the Lord, and the virtues of him; and his marvels, which he did.
And all that generation was gathered to their fathers; and other men of Israel rose up, that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done with Israel.
Fidelidade no ensino
Quem ensina com fidelidade merece dupla honra. Cuidado com doutrinas falsas — permaneçam na doutrina de Cristo.
The priests that be well governors, [that is, truly keep well priesthood], be they had worthy to double honour; most they that travail in word and teaching.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not bridle the mouth of the ox threshing, and, A workman is worthy his hire.
But eschew thou [or shun thou] unholy and vain speeches, for why those profit much to unfaithfulness,
and the word of them creepeth as a canker. Of whom Philetus is, and Hymenaeus,
witting that each man that goeth before [or that goeth away], and dwelleth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that dwelleth in the teaching [of Christ], hath both the Son and the Father.
But when the middle feast day came, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
And the Jews wondered, and said, How knoweth this man letters, since he hath not learned?
Jesus answered to them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or I speak of myself.
He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is soothfast, and unrightwiseness is not in him.
