Matthew 10:24-31 – The Nazarene’s Commentary: Do Not Fear – Preach!

Matthew 10:24-31 – Do Not Fear – Preach!

|| Mark 4:22; Luke 12:2-9

MT10:24 “A disciple[1] is not above the teacher nor a slave above his Master. MT10:25 It is satisfactory if the disciple becomes like his teacher,[2] and the slave like his Master. If they call the lord of the house ‘Beelzebul,’[3] how much more those of the household. MT10:26 So, you should not fear them.[4] For there is nothing concealed[5] which will not be revealed,[6] and nothing hidden[7] which will not become known. MT10:27 What I tell you in the dark, tell in the light; and, what your ear hears, preach on the housetops.[8] MT10:28 Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul.[9] Rather, continue to fear the One capable of destroying[10] both soul and body in Gehenna.[11] MT10:29 Are not two sparrows[12] sold for an assarion?[13] And not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s [awareness].[14] MT10:30 The very hairs of your head are numbered.[15] MT10:31 So, do not be afraid. You differ [greatly] from many sparrows.[16]

[1] Disciple: The Greek is MATHETES from which the English “mathematics” comes. Though “disciple” is related to “discipline” or that great effort to learn math. The word “Disciple” occurs 76 times in Matthew, 46 times in Mark, 38 times in Luke, 79 times in John, and 30 times in Acts. The word occurs nowhere else in the Christian Bible. No woman is ever called a “disciple” until Tabitha (Dorcas).

[2] Disciple becomes like his teacher: Jesus’ main point is that the disciples can expect to be condemned and spoken against during their work. This should not surprise them because the same is happening to their Teacher. They become like their Teacher in sharing his abuse and reproach.

[3] Beelzebul: Possibly a cryptic name for Satan meaning “Lord (owner) of Dung” or “Lord (owner) of Flies.” The contemptuous designation occurs as an accusation against the Nazarene at Matthew 12:24, 27; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15, 18. Compare 2 Kings 1:2.

[4] Not fear them: Courage is an absolutely necessity for a disciple of the Nazarene. Jesus knows that some households and some towns will not accept or receive the disciples well. He knows they are likely to call his apostles names. Note what he had told them in his Mountain Teachings (Matthew 5:10-12). Fear is a tool of the Devil.

[5] Concealed: Those who speak evil against the disciples will be exposed in the Judgment (Matthew 12:36). Secret slander will finally be revealed.

[6] Revealed: The Greek is APOKALYPSTHESETAI. Compare Mark 4:22; Luke 8:17; 1 Corinthians 4:5; John 3:19-21. Imagine the evil talk which has gone on throughout the centuries as inquisitors plotted to entrap or accuse innocent Christians?

[7] Hidden: The Greek is CRYPTON. PME: nor any thing private which will not be made public.

[8] Tell in the light; and, what your ear hears, preach on the housetops: Jesus often spoke to his disciples in private (Matthew 17:19; 20:17; 24:3; Mark 4:34; 6:31; 7:33; 9:28; 13:3). He wants his disciples to preach these things. Compare Luke 12:3. NEB: you must repeat in broad daylight; BAS: what comes to your ear secretly; MOF: what you hear in a whisper.

[9] Are unable to kill the soul: This verse is viewed by some to prove the soul is immortal and continues to exist after death. Jesus possibly has in mind the future life as a spirit person. He is saying: while your persecutors may kill you physically, they cannot destroy your True Life. Compare Luke 12:4; 21:19. The Greek for soul here is PSYCHEN and between the Jewish Greek Bible (LXX) and the Christian Bible occurs about 1,000 times. Of these over 100 state the soul is mortal and destructible. Not once is the soul ever stated to be immortal as in the Platonic idea. See commentaries and dictionaries under “soul.”

[10] The One capable of destroying: That is The God. Note that Jesus says the soul is mortal and destructible.

[11] Gehenna: Some render the Greek GEHENNE as hell (KJV), the pit (GDSP), the fires of destruction (PME). See notes on Matthew 5:22. Gehenna is a symbol of eternal destruction and called “Second Death” in Revelation 20:14, 15.

[12] Sparrows: On another occasion Jesus uses five sparrows. The Greek allows for any small bird. Such birds were sold for a penny, roasted over a spit (Light From the Ancient East, by A. Deissmann, 1965, pp. 273, 274).

[13] Assarion: A Roman coin about a half-penny. The widow’s LEPTON was ten times less. One-sixteenth of a denarius. KJV: a farthing; ASV: a penny.

[14] Father’s [awareness]: The literal Greek is not one falls without your Father. TCNT: without your Father’s knowledge; BECK: with your Father’s permission. Jesus teaches how sensitive and aware the Life Source of the Universe is. Some Christians loose every bit of self-worth or self-esteem. This thought ought to encourage any that just as God notes the birds, He is well aware of our own plights. Compare 1 Peter 5:7.

[15] Hairs of your head are numbered: Compare Luke 12:7. Or, KNX: he takes every hair of your head into his reckoning. Some estimate the average head of hair to include about 100,000. The hair of the head is used metamorphicly in the Bible (1 Samuel 14:45; 2 Samuel 14:11; 1 Kings 1:52; Psalm 40:12; 69:4; Luke 21:18; Acts 27:34).

[16] You differ [greatly] from many sparrows: KJV: you are of more value than many sparrows; WEY: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows

Be strong

Inculcate God’s words and speak of them

These words that I am commanding you today must be on your heart, and you must inculcate them in* your sons+ and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.+ .—Deut. 6:6-7.

And these words that I am commanding you today must prove to be on your heart;+ and you must inculcate them in your son+ and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down+ and when you get up.(Ref.B.)

inculcate them in: Or “repeat them to; impress them upon.”

your sons:

  • Genesis 18:19: 19 For I have come to know him in order that he may command his sons and his household after him to keep Jehovah’s way by doing what is right and just,+ so that Jehovah may bring about what he has promised concerning Abraham.”
  • Deuteronomy 4:9: “Just be careful and watch yourself closely,* so that you may not forget the things that your eyes have seen and so that they may not depart from your heart all the days of your life. You must also make them known to your sons and to your grandsons.+
  • Proverbs 22:6: Train a boy* in the way he should go;+ Even when he grows old he will not depart from it.+
  • Ephesians 6:4: And fathers, do not be irritating your children,+ but go on bringing them up in the discipline+ and admonition* of Jehovah.*+
  • Proverbs 13:24: 24 Whoever holds back his rod* hates his son,+ But the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.*+
  • Proverbs 19:18: 18 Discipline your son while there is hope,+ And do not become responsible for* his death.+
  • Proverbs 22:15: 15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a boy,*+ But the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.+
  • Hebrews 12:6: for those whom Jehovah* loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges* everyone whom he receives as a son.”+

when you lie down and when you get up:

  • Deuteronomy 11:19: 19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.+

Generally, children love their parents, and parents love their children. This is especially true in Christian households.

Although parents and children yearn to be close to one another, communication is sometimes difficult. Many families find that it is challenging to have enough time for meaningful communication. That was not always the case. In ancient Israel, children spent the day either with their mother at home or with their father in the fields or at his workplace. There was plenty of time for children and parents to be together and converse. Consequently, parents were in a position to get to know the needs, desires, and personality of their children. Likewise, there was time and sufficient opportunity for children to get to know their parents well. How different life is today! w13 5/15 4:2-4

Keep the Lines of Communication Open

It is important that children early on become accustomed to communicating with their parents. Otherwise, when the children are adolescents and perhaps face problems, they will not think of their parents as friends whom they can talk to.

How can you help them to open their hearts? (Proverbs 20:5) says:

“Counsel in the heart of a man is as deep waters, but the man of discernment is one that will draw it up.”

By using viewpoint questions, such as “What do you think?” parents can encourage their children to express their thoughts and feelings.

What will you do if your child makes a serious mistake? That is the time when he needs kind consideration. Control your emotions while you listen to your child. A father says this about his way of dealing with such a situation:

“When the children make mistakes, I try not to overreact. I sit down and listen to what they have to say. I try to grasp the situation. When I find it difficult to control my spirit, I wait a while and calm down.”

If you control your emotions and listen, the correction you give will more readily be accepted.

Psalm 19:1 The heavens are declaring the glory of God;+ The skies above* proclaim the work of his hands.+

Exodus 20: 1-3: 1 Then God spoke all these words:+ 2 “I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.+ You must not have any other gods besides me.*+

Isaiah 7: 7: “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “It will not succeed, Nor will it take place.

Jeremiah 1: 9:Then Jehovah stretched out his hand and touched my mouth.+ And Jehovah said to me: “I have put my words in your mouth.+

John 14: 10: 10 Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me?+ The things I say to you I do not speak of my own originality,+ but the Father who remains in union with me is doing his works.

Ephesians 6: 17: 17 Also, accept the helmet of salvation,+ and the sword of the spirit, that is, God’s word,+

Exodus 3: He went on to say: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham,+ the God of Isaac,+ and the God of Jacob.”+ Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at the true God.

1 John 5:20: 20 But we know that the Son of God has come,+ and he has given us insight* so that we may gain the knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true,+ by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life everlasting.+

Revelation 4:11“You are worthy, Jehovah* our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor+ and the power,+ because you created all things,+ and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”

Exodus 6: Then God said to Moses: “I am Jehovah. And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty,+ but with regard to my name Jehovah+ I did not make myself known to them.+

Job 22:13-14: 13 But you have said: ‘What does God really know? Can he judge through thick gloom?14 Clouds screen him off so that he does not see As he walks about on the vault* of heaven.’

Nehemiah 9: 5-6: And the Levites Jeshʹu·a, Kadʹmi·el, Baʹni, Hash·ab·neiʹah, She·re·biʹah, Ho·diʹah, Sheb·a·niʹah, and Peth·a·hiʹah said: “Stand up and praise Jehovah your God throughout all eternity.*+ And let them praise your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

Psalms 50: 7-17: “Listen, O my people, and I will speak;Israel, I will bear witness against you.+ I am God, your God.+ I do not reprove you because of your sacrifices, Nor because of your whole burnt offerings that are constantly before me.+ I do not need to take a bull from your house,Nor goats* from your pens.+10 For every wild animal of the forest is mine,+ Even the beasts upon a thousand mountains. 11 I know every bird of the mountains;+ The countless animals of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the productive land and everything in it is mine.+ 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls And drink the blood of goats?+ 14 Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God,+ And pay your vows to the Most High;+ 15 Call on me in the time of distress.+ I will rescue you, and you will glorify me.”+ 16 But God will say to the wicked: “What right do you have to relate my regulations+ Or to speak about my covenant?+ 17 For you hate discipline,* And you keep turning your back on my words.*+

Ephesians 4:11-1411 And he gave some as apostles,+ some as prophets,+ some as evangelizers,*+ some as shepherds and teachers,+ 12 with a view to the readjustment* of the holy ones, for ministerial work, to build up the body of the Christ,+ 13 until we all attain to the oneness* of the faith and of the accurate knowledge of the Son of God, to being a full-grown* man,+ attaining the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of the Christ. 14 So we should no longer be children, tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching+ by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes.

1 Corinthians 2: 1,9-10, 14-16: 1 So when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with extravagant speech+ or wisdom declaring the sacred secret+ of God to you. But just as it is written: “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”+ 10 For it is to us God has revealed them+ through his spirit,+ for the spirit searches into all things, even the deep things of God.+

14 But a physical man does not accept* the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot get to know them, because they are examined spiritually. 15 However, the spiritual man examines all things,+ but he himself is not examined by any man. 16 For “who has come to know the mind of Jehovah,* so that he may instruct him?”+ But we do have the mind of Christ.+

Isaiah 40:13: 13 Who has taken the measurements of* the spirit of Jehovah, And who can instruct him as his adviser?+

Ephesians 3:5, 6: In other generations this secret was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by spirit,+ namely, that people of the nations should, in union with Christ Jesus and through the good news, be joint heirs and fellow members of the body+ and partakers with us of the promise.

Colossians 2:2: This is so that their hearts may be comforted+ and that they may be harmoniously joined together in love+ and may have all the riches that result from the full assurance of their understanding, in order to gain an accurate knowledge of the sacred secret of God, namely, Christ.+

Proverbs 23: Do not speak in the ears of the stupid one,+ For he will despise the wisdom of your words.+

2 Samuel 23:2: The spirit of Jehovah spoke through me;+ His word was on my tongue.+

Acts 1:16: 16 “Men, brothers, it was necessary for the scripture to be fulfilled that the holy spirit spoke prophetically through David about Judas,+ who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.+

Acts 28:25: 25 So because they disagreed with one another, they began to leave, and Paul made this one comment: “The holy spirit aptly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your forefathers,

1 Peter 1:11: 11 They kept on investigating what particular time or what season the spirit within them was indicating concerning Christ+ as it testified beforehand about the sufferings meant for Christ+ and about the glory that would follow.

2 Peter 1:21:21 For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will,+ but men spoke from God as they were moved* by holy spirit.+

John 14:26: 26 But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you.+

2 Timothy 3: 16-17: 16 All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,* for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

1 Thessalonians 2: 13: 13 Indeed, that is why we also thank God unceasingly,+ because when you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God, which is also at work in you believers.

Romans 15:4: For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction,+ so that through our endurance+ and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.+

1 Corinthians 10:11: 11 Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us+ upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.

Psalm 119:49, 50: 49 Remember your word* to your servant, Through which you give me hope.* 50 This is my comfort in my affliction,+ For your saying has preserved me alive.

Proverbs 4: 7-9: Wisdom is the most important* thing,+ so acquire wisdom, And with all you acquire, acquire understanding.Highly esteem it, and it will exalt you.+ It will honor you because you embrace it.+ It will place an attractive wreath on your head; It will adorn you with a crown of beauty.”

Proverbs 15:14: 14 The understanding heart seeks knowledge,+ But the mouth of the stupid feeds on* foolishness.+

Matthew 13:23: 23 As for the one sown upon the fine soil, this is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it, who really does bear fruit and produces, this one 100 times more, that one 60, the other 30.”+

Hebrews 5:14: 14 But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their powers of discernment* trained to distinguish both right and wrong.

Daniel 1:17: 17 And the true God gave these four youths* knowledge and insight into every kind of writing and wisdom; and Daniel was given understanding in all sorts of visions and dreams.+

Proverbs 21: 30 There is no wisdom, nor discernment, nor counsel in opposition to Jehovah.+

Proverbs 19: 21 Many are the plans in a man’s heart, But the counsel* of Jehovah is what will prevail.+

2 Timothy 2: 7-10: Give constant thought to what I am saying; the Lord will give you understanding* in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ was raised up from the dead+ and was David’s offspring,*+ according to the good news I preach,+ for which I am suffering and being imprisoned as a criminal.+ Nevertheless, the word of God is not bound.+ 10 For this reason I go on enduring all things for the sake of the chosen ones,+ so that they too may obtain the salvation that is through Christ Jesus, along with everlasting glory. 

John 17: This means everlasting life,+ their coming to know you,* the only true God,+ and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.+

1 John 5: 20 But we know that the Son of God has come,+ and he has given us insight* so that we may gain the knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true,+ by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life everlasting.+

1 Timothy 2: 2-4: concerning kings and all those who are in high positions,*+ so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.+ This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God,+ whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved+ and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

Jean 14: 10: 10 Ne crois-tu pas que je suis en union avec le Père et que le Père est en union avec moi+ ? Les choses que je vous dis, je ne les dis pas en tirant [ce que j’annonce] de mon propre fonds* ; mais le Père qui demeure en union avec moi fait ses œuvres+.

Éphésiens 6: 17: 17 En outre, acceptez le casque+ du salut, et l’épée+ de l’esprit+, c’est-à-dire la parole de Dieu+,

Exode 3Puis il dit : “ Je suis le Dieu de ton père*, le Dieu d’Abraham, le Dieu d’Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob+. ” Alors Moïse se cacha le visage, car il avait peur de regarder le [vrai] Dieu*.

1 Jean 5 :2020 Mais nous savons que le Fils de Dieu est venu+ et qu’il nous a donné l’intelligence*+ pour que nous parvenions à connaître le véritable+. Et nous sommes en union+ avec le véritable, par le moyen de son Fils Jésus Christ. C’est là le vrai+ Dieu et la vie éternelle+.

Révélation 4 :11:11 “ Tu es digne, Jéhovah*, oui notre Dieu, de recevoir la gloire+ et l’honneur+ et la puissance+, parce que tu as créé toutes choses+, et à cause de ta volonté+ elles ont existé et ont été créées+. ”

Exode 6 :Dieu* parla encore à Moïse et lui dit : “ Je suis Jéhovah+.

Job 22:13-14:13 Et pourtant tu as dit : ‘ Qu’est-ce que Dieu* peut bien savoir ? Peut-il juger à travers l’obscurité épaisse ? 14 Les nuages sont pour lui une cachette, de sorte qu’il ne voit pas ; il marche sur la voûte du ciel. ’

Nehémia 9 : 5-6: Puis les Lévites Yéshoua, Qadmiel, Bani, Hashabnia, Shérébia, Hodia, Shebania [et] Pethahia dirent : “ Levez-vous, bénissez+ Jéhovah votre Dieu depuis des temps indéfinis [et] pour des temps indéfinis+. Et qu’ils bénissent ton nom glorieux+ qui est élevé au-dessus de toute bénédiction et louange. “ Tu es Jéhovah, toi seul+ ; c’est toi qui as fait les cieux+, [oui] le ciel des cieux, et toute leur armée+, la terre+ et tout ce qui est sur elle+, les mers+ et tout ce qui s’y trouve+ ; et tu les gardes tous en vie ; et l’armée+ des cieux se prosterne devant toi.

Psaumes 50: 7-17:  “ Écoute, ô mon peuple, je veux parler+ ; ô Israël, je veux témoigner contre toi*+. Je suis Dieu, ton Dieu+ Ce n’est pas pour tes sacrifices que je te reprends+ ni [pour] tes holocaustes [qui sont] devant moi constamment+ Je ne veux pas prendre de ta maison un taureau+ ni de tes enclos des boucs. 10 Car tous les animaux sauvages de la forêt m’appartiennent+, les bêtes sur mille montagnes+. 11 Je connais bien toutes les créatures ailées des montagnes+, et avec moi sont les foules d’animaux de la campagne+. 12 Si j’avais faim, je ne te le dirais pas ; car il m’appartient, le sol productif*+ et sa plénitude+. 13 Vais-je manger la chair des puissants [taureaux]+,et le sang des boucs, vais-je le boire+ ? 14 Offre à Dieu, pour ton sacrifice, l’action de grâces+, et acquitte-toi de tes vœux envers le Très-Haut+ ; 15 et appelle-moi au jour de la détresse+. Je te délivrerai et tu me glorifieras+. ” 16 Mais au méchant Dieu devra dire+ : “ De quel droit énumères-tu mes prescriptions+ et portes-tu mon alliance* dans ta bouche+ ? 17 En effet, toi, tu as haï la discipline+, et sans cesse tu jettes mes paroles derrière toi+.

Éphésiens 4:1111 Et il a donné certains comme apôtres+, certains comme prophètes+, certains comme évangélisateurs*+, certains comme bergers et enseignants+,

1 Corinthiens 2: 1,9-10, 14-16: Moi donc, quand je suis venu chez vous, frères, je ne suis pas venu avec outrance* de langage+ ou de sagesse vous annoncer le saint secret+ de Dieu. Mais comme c’est écrit : “ L’œil ne les a pas vues, et l’oreille ne les a pas entendues, et elles n’ont pas été conçues dans le cœur de l’homme, les choses que Dieu a préparées pour ceux qui l’aiment+. ” 10 Car c’est à nous que Dieu les a révélées+ grâce à son esprit+, car l’esprit+ scrute toutes choses, même les choses profondes+ de Dieu.14 Mais l’homme physique* ne reçoit pas les choses de l’esprit de Dieu, car elles sont une sottise pour lui ; et il ne peut pas parvenir à [les] connaître+, parce que c’est spirituellement qu’on les examine. 15 Cependant, l’homme spirituel*+ examine réellement toutes choses, mais lui-même n’est examiné+ par personne. 16 Car “ qui est parvenu à connaître la pensée de Jéhovah*+, pour l’instruire+ ” ? Mais nous, nous avons la pensée+ de Christ*.

Isaïe 40 :13: 13 Qui a pris les dimensions de l’esprit de Jéhovah, et qui, étant son homme de conseil, peut lui faire connaître quelque chose+ ?

Éphésiens 3:5, 6:Dans d’autres générations, ce [secret]+ n’a pas été porté à la connaissance des fils des hommes comme il a été révélé maintenant+ à ses saints apôtres et prophètes+ par [l’]esprit, à savoir que des gens des nations devaient être cohéritiers et comembres du corps+ et avoir part avec nous à la promesse*+ en union avec Christ Jésus par le moyen de la bonne nouvelle.

Colossiens 2:2afin que leur cœur soit consolé+ [et] qu’ils soient harmonieusement unis ensemble dans l’amour+ et pour toute la richesse de la pleine certitude de [leur] intelligence+, pour une connaissance exacte du saint secret de Dieu, c’est-à-dire Christ*+.

Proverbes 23: Ne parle pas aux oreilles d’un homme stupide+, car il méprisera tes paroles avisées+.

2 Samuel 23:2: C’est l’esprit de Jéhovah qui a parlé par moi+, et sa parole* a été sur ma langue+.

Actes 1:1616 “ Hommes, frères, il fallait que s’accomplisse [cette parole de] l’Écriture+, que l’esprit saint+ avait dite d’avance par la bouche de David au sujet de Judas+, qui est devenu le guide de ceux qui ont arrêté Jésus+,

Actes 28:25:25 Et comme ils étaient en désaccord les uns avec les autres, ils s’en allaient, tandis que Paul faisait cette seule observation: “ C’est avec raison que l’esprit saint a parlé à vos ancêtres par l’intermédiaire d’Isaïe le prophète,

1 Pierre 1 :11: 11 Ils s’efforçaient de découvrir* quelle époque particulière+ ou quelle sorte d’[époque] indiquait, au sujet de Christ+, l’esprit+ qui était en eux*, quand il attestait d’avance les souffrances [réservées] à Christ+ et les gloires+ qui devaient suivre celles-ci.

2 Pierre 1:21:21 Car la prophétie n’a jamais été apportée par la volonté de l’homme+, mais des hommes ont parlé de la part de Dieu+, comme ils étaient portés par [l’]esprit saint+.

Jean 14:2626 Mais l’assistant*, l’esprit saint, que le Père enverra en mon nom, celui-là* vous enseignera toutes choses et vous rappellera toutes les choses que je vous ai dites+.

2 Timothée 3: 16 Toute Écriture est inspirée de Dieu*+ et utile pour enseigner+, pour reprendre+, pour remettre les choses en ordre*+, pour discipliner+ dans la justice, 17 pour que l’homme de Dieu soit pleinement qualifié+, parfaitement équipé* pour toute œuvre bonne+.

1 Thessaloniciens 2: 13: 13 Oui, voilà pourquoi, nous aussi, nous remercions Dieu constamment+, parce que, quand vous avez reçu la parole de Dieu+ que vous entendiez de nous, vous l’avez acceptée, non comme la parole des hommes+, mais, ainsi qu’elle l’est véritablement, comme la parole de Dieu, laquelle* est aussi à l’œuvre en vous, les croyants+.

Romains 15:4 Car toutes les choses qui ont été écrites jadis ont été écrites+ pour notre instruction+, afin que, grâce à notre endurance+ et à la consolation+ des Écritures, nous ayons l’espérance*+.

1 Corinthiens 10 :1111 Or ces choses leur arrivaient comme exemples*, et elles ont été écrites pour nous avertir+, nous sur qui les fins* des systèmes de choses*+ sont arrivées.

Psaumes 119:49, 50: 49 Souviens-toi de la parole à ton serviteur+, celle que tu m’as fait attendre+ 50 C’est là ma consolation dans mon affliction+, car ta parole m’a gardé en vie+.

Proverbes 4: 7-9: La sagesse est la chose principale+. Acquiers la sagesse ; et avec tout ce que tu acquiers, acquiers l’intelligence+. Tiens-la en haute estime, et elle t’élèvera+. Elle te glorifiera parce que tu l’étreins+. Elle donnera à ta tête une guirlande de charme+ ; elle te fera don d’une couronne de beauté+. ”

Proverbes 15 :14: 14 Le cœur intelligent recherche la connaissance+, mais la bouche des stupides aspire à la sottise+.

Matthieu 13:23: 23 Quant à celui qui a été semé sur la belle terre, c’est celui qui entend la parole et en saisit le sens, qui porte alors du fruit et produit celui-ci cent fois autant, celui-là soixante, l’autre trente+. ”

Hébreux 5 :1414 Mais la nourriture solide est pour les hommes mûrs, pour ceux qui, par l’usage, ont les facultés de perception*+ exercées* à distinguer et le bien et le mal+.

Daniel 1:17: 17 Quant à ces enfants, les quatre, à eux le [vrai] Dieu donna connaissance et perspicacité en toute écriture et sagesse+ ; et Daniel avait de l’intelligence en toutes sortes de visions et de rêves+.

Proverbs 21: 30 Il n’y a ni sagesse, ni discernement, ni conseil en opposition avec Jéhovah+.

Proverbs 19: 21 Nombreux sont les plans dans le cœur de l’homme*+, mais c’est le conseil de Jéhovah qui tiendra+.

2 Timothée 2: 7-10: Pense constamment* à ce que je dis ; le Seigneur, en effet, te donnera du discernement+ en toutes choses. Rappelle-toi que Jésus Christ a été relevé d’entre les morts+ et qu’il était de la semence de David+, selon la bonne nouvelle que je prêche+ ; à propos de laquelle je supporte le mal jusqu’à [porter] des liens+ comme un malfaiteur. Toutefois, la parole de Dieu n’est pas liée+. 10 Voilà pourquoi je continue à endurer toutes choses à cause de ceux qui ont été choisis+, pour qu’eux aussi obtiennent le salut qui est dans l’union avec Christ Jésus, avec la gloire éternelle+.

Jean 17 : Ceci signifie la vie éternelle+ : qu’ils apprennent à te connaître*+, toi, le seul vrai Dieu+, et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus Christ+.

1 Jean 520 Mais nous savons que le Fils de Dieu est venu+ et qu’il nous a donné l’intelligence*+ pour que nous parvenions à connaître le véritable+. Et nous sommes en union+ avec le véritable, par le moyen de son Fils Jésus Christ. C’est là le vrai+ Dieu et la vie éternelle+.

1 Timothée 2: 2-4: à propos de rois+ et de tous ceux qui sont haut placés+ ; afin que nous puissions continuer à mener une vie calme et paisible dans un parfait attachement à Dieu* et [en toute] dignité+. Cela est beau et agréable+ aux yeux de notre Sauveur, Dieu+, qui veut que toutes sortes d’hommes+ soient sauvés+ et parviennent à une connaissance exacte+ de la vérité+.
