Acts 11:22-24
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the
church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he
should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and
exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto
the Lord. For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith:
and much people was added unto the Lord.
Acts 20:7-12
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples
came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were
gathered together. And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,
being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he
sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was
taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he
departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
comforted.
Romans 12:3-8
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man
that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought
to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not
the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members
one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given
to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion
of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,
on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do
it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth
mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high
things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
conceits.
Romans 15:14
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren,
that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
also to admonish one another.
Romans 16:17-18
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their
own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of
the simple.
2 Corinthians 10:9-11
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
letters. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his
bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by
letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are
present.
2 Corinthians 11:6
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in
knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all
things.
2 Corinthians 13:5-10
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear
approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be
as reprobates. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this
also we wish, even your perfection. Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I
should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath
given me to edification, and not to destruction.
Galatians 6:3-5
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have
rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden.
Titus 2:1-15
ut speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in
charity, in patience. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of
good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their
own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine
shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the
contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to
please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the
great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good
works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no man despise thee.
Hebrews 3:8-19
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the
day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty
years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do
alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any
of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of
our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them
that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest,
but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without
wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good
works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner
of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye
see the day approaching.
Hebrews 13:22
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of
exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
1 Peter 4:10-11
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister
the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of
God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man
minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God
in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be
praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
