1My brothers, not many of you should choose to become teachers, knowing that you shall receive a stricter judgment. 2For we all offend in many ways. If anyone does not offend in word, he is a perfect man. And he is then able, as if with a bridle, to lead the whole body around.

10Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

8I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.

15Be solicitous in the task of presenting yourself before God as a proven and unashamed worker who has handled the Word of Truth correctly.

2Let my doctrine accumulate like the rain. Let my eloquence form like the dew, like a mist upon the plants, and like water droplets upon the grass.

16All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice,

58And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.

19Therefore, whoever will have loosened one of the least of these commandments, and have taught men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever will have done and taught these, such a one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
