All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for

doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2

Timothy 3:16

*

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,

which is in you, from God, and ye are not your

same? 1 Corinthians 6:19

*

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the

evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but

but against principalities, against powers, against the

rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts

wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

*

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From

now me the crown of righteousness is laid up, which the Lord,

righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but

also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

*

But as it is written, Things which eye has not seen, nor

nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, are the

which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

THE TEACHINGS OF

PAUL

The precious teachings are

fully grounded in Scripture

Holy, he wrote one of his most

Preferred friends that he had converted; this

character representing sinificativa

importance in the life of Paul was young Timothy,

such was this affection to this guy, that Paul was

as his own son, so devoted to him

two of his epistles, in these letters we

find the record of one of the most preferred and

known Bible verses left by him: All

Scripture is God-breathed and is useful

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for

instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:167

7 - When Paul wrote these tips and guidelines

are in this epistle, he was referring to the Bible

To every Christian community that he had

created, presented its peculiar problems,

these issues were sometimes much more complex,

but Paul was determined in his admonitions

and managed care that these problems

affecting these Christians and these communities.

Because of these difficulties, write to

specific way for each one so

loving and sometimes too hard, and led

headed solutions, but the abdicated

advice and guidance whenever called upon

for the practice of Christian principles and biblical.

We can mention the great difficulties he had with

Corinthian Christians.

The ancient city of Corinth located at the

mainland of Greece was a major center

commercial, religious and cultural that time, the

influences the culture and customs of the Greeks

overlapped those of other people who were part

of its population.

dquela time, he understood the Book of Genesis

Malachi thus becomes clear that there was no new

Testament. However, today we can consider all

Scripture including the two testaments.

On the other hand, too large Ephesus

cultural influence of the Greek world, was his great

rival, but was located in the Aria Minor today

modern Turkey.

So Corinth as a large warehouse

trade, and it was heavily attended

living people and travelers from around the world

known, attracted by its wealth, beauty and

worldly attractions with a high rate of

prostiuição.

Prostitution was a significant problem

affecting this important cosmopolitan center that

period.

These influences penetrated customs

small group of Christians, reflecting the

behavior of some converts, this left

transpire a major concern for the

Paul himself, who had a special affection for

that church that he had recently founded.

In this episode the inspired apostle of God and

filled with the Holy Spirit, wrote particularly

for this community, first gave great

Corinthian 6, we advice, warnings and

guidelines, staying well in evidence the statement

Dare any of you, having a matter against

another, go to law before the unjust, and not before

the saints?

Know ye not that the saints shall judge the

world? Now, if the world shall be judged by you,

are ye unworthy to judge things

minimum?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels?

How much more things that pertain to this life?

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining

to this life, set them to judge who are

least esteemed in the church?

For your shame. There is, therefore, between

his brothers?

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before

infidels.

APOSTLE PAUL Ezekiel Camilo da Silva

Actually now is utterly a fault among you,

demands that you may have against one another. Why not

rather be wronged? Why not rather

the damage?

Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud,

and that your brethren.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the

kingdom of God?

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor

adulterers, nor effeminate, nor

sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor

drunkards, nor revilers, nor

extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

And that is what some have been: but ye are washed,

but ye are sanctified, but ye are

justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by

Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful, but not all

things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but

I will not be mastered by anything.

fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for

the body.

But God, who also raised the Lord, in

raise up us by his power.

Know ye not that your bodies are members

of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and

make them the members of an harlot? No, of course.

Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot

becomes one body with her? Because it will be said, two

one flesh.

But that is joined unto the Lord is one

spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man

commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins

against his own body.

Know ye not that your body is the temple of

Holy Spirit who dwells in you, from

God, and ye are not your own?

APOSTLE PAUL Ezekiel Camilo da Silva

43

For ye are bought with a price: glorify,

therefore God in your body and in your spirit,

which are God's.

Paul also left with a deep

inspiration in these reports that enhances and

emphasizes love, still in the first epistle to the

Corinthians chapter 13, one of the most beautiful and

sublime descriptions of the true love of

near the apostle called charity: I

Corinthians. Chapter 13, Verses 1-13:

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of

angels, but have not love, it would be like metal

or as the bell sounds that tine. And though I have the

gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and

all knowledge, and though I have all faith,

so that I could remove mountains, and not

have love, I am nothing. And though I bestow

all my goods to feed the poor, and

though I give my body to be

burned, and had not love, I am nothing

does not envy, does not trifle with, not

puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, not

seek its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no

evil, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the

truth. It tolerates, always trusts, always hopes, always

supports.

ABOUT THE RESURRECTION

Still in the first letter to the Corinthians

Chapter 15 is an important affirmation of Paul

reporting with full conviction on this

supernatural event resurrection: 1 Corinthians 15

Also notify you, brethren, the gospel

we have preached unto you, which also

have received, and wherein ye stand.

By which also ye are saved, if you hold fast

as I preached unto you, unless it is

believed in vain.
