Target A. Paul raised the doctrine to a confessional level. This is a faithful saying , and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Bad ideas cause problems. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid , knowing that they do gender strifes .
Nothing substitutes for faithfulness.
When a person makes controversy a way of life stay away. Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful . All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith.
