Sound Words

Paul keeps in touch with Timothy to continue lecturing a similar precept he had gotten from Paul and different messengers. Paul expresses, "hold quick the type of sound words."

Presentation: Read 2 Timothy 1:13

Hold quick the type of sound words, which thou hast knew about me, in confidence and love which is in Christ Jesus. (2Ti 1:13 KJV)

ASV Hold the example of sound words

ESV Follow the example of the sound words

NAS Retain the standard of sound words

NRS Hold to the standard of sound instructing

1. Paul gives a charge…

1. Hold quick the frame, take after the example, hold the standard, But what do we keep, hold or hold?

2. Sound words or educating. However, how would I know the "sound?"

3. Answer: "Which thou hast knew about me."

1. What do we need to do to comply with the charge, "Hold quick the type of sound words."

Exchange:

I. TO "HOLD FAST THE FORM OF SOUND WORDS" REQUIRES A CERTAIN ATTITUDE

1. Micaiah, 1 Kings 22:14, "And Micaiah stated, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I talk."

2. Joshua, Jos 24:15, "And on the off chance that it appear to be abhorrent unto you to serve the LORD, pick you this day whom ye will serve; regardless of whether the divine beings which your fathers served that were on the opposite side of the surge, or the divine forces of the Amorites, in whose land ye stay: yet concerning me and my home, we will serve the LORD."

3. Employment, Job 13:15, "However he kill me, yet will I confide in him: yet I will keep up mine own particular manners previously him.

"

1. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Dan. 3:18, "However in the event that not, be it known unto thee, O ruler, that we won't serve thy divine beings, nor adore the brilliant picture which thou hast set up."

2. Ezra, Ezra 7:10, "For Ezra had arranged his heart to look for the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to instruct in Israel statutes and judgments."

II. HOLD FAST THE FORM OF SOUND WORDS – WHAT ARE THE SOUND WORDS?

1. Not the expressions of man, Prov. 14:12, "methods for death"

1. Leaves out the thought, "The Bible doesn't state we can't do it, so we can."

2. Hab. 2:20, "Let all the earth keep hush."

3. Matt. 4:4, "Each word that proceedeth… "

4. Heb. 1:1-2, God has talked through His Son.

1. Thus stable words are the expressions of God.

III. WHAT OF THE WORDS SPOKEN BY PAUL?

1. Given to the witnesses, Mark 13:11.

2. Witnesses given the word, John 17:8.

3. "Through the disclosure of Jesus Christ," Gal. 1:11-12.
