The Daily Bible Verse
2 Timothy 1:13-14 - What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound
teaching,
What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith
and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to
you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
– 2 Timothy 1:13-14 (NIV)
Paul confidently tells Timothy to follow his teaching, but notice what he
adds: faith and love in Christ Jesus. Doctrine without faith in God is only
a philosophy that requires no action, and teaching without love can create
a false sense of superiority. Finding a balance that is fruitful would be
overwhelming except for the fact that we are not left alone to do it; the
Holy Spirit is here to guide us every step of the way.
