Timothy - What Service Involves

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 - God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph!

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV 

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Rotherham

But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,
That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God,—in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost:
In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?
For we are not, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.

Five records in the book of Acts when those that believed spoke in tongues, pt-2 (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 4)

Five records in the Word of God, that's all, just five.  
Just five records in the Word of God, no more, no less.  Four of those 
five state, without any hesitation, that, when they were born again and 
received the gift, pneuma hagion, the one thing they did was they spoke 
in tongues.  They, themselves, spoke in tongues, but what they spoke was 
as the Spirit gave it to them, to their spirit.  One place says, just 
one of the five, says that Simon saw something.  Well, what did he see?  
You know good and well what he saw.  He saw the manifestation.  The 
manifestation of what?  Speaking in tongues.

Five records in the book of Acts when those that believed spoke in tongues, pt-1 (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 4)

1.   We learned from Acts, chapter 2, in the original outpouring, in 
verses 1 to 4, that; on the day of Pentecost, these twelve apostles were 
filled with the power from on high, clothed with this power from on 
high, which is the new birth, the holy spirit, Christ in you.  And when 
they were filled, it says, "and they spoke in tongues."  That's what it 
said in Acts 2.  And then, you'll remember, there were only Jews on the 
day of Pentecost that received.  

2.   A number of years later, because of the persecution that had ensued 
within the city of Jerusalem, because of the increase of Christian 
believers, Philip went down to Samaria.  This is an enlargement.  The 
Samaritans were disliked by the Jews.  Philip goes down to Samaria and 
he preaches Christ unto them.  And those who have been influenced by 
spiritualism, and lived under devil spirits, and been under the control 
of a man operated by devil spirits, they get born again.  And Simon, the 
sorcerer himself, gets born again of God's Spirit.  

     And when these people in Samaria were born again, it says, "and 
Simon saw."  Simon saw--you cannot see spirit, what did Simon see?  

3.   We'll go to the next record, in Acts, chapter 9, the third great 
record in God's wonderful, matchless word.  In this chapter, it's the 
apostle Paul.  Paul who, when he was on the road to Damascus, got born 
again.  And Ananias, just a simple disciple -- just a simple disciple, 
not a head of the church from Jerusalem, no Peter, no John, no bishop, 
no top echelon brass, nope -- just a simple disciple.  Laid his hands on 
the apostle, Paul, he got healed, physically, and, according to I 
Corinthians chapter 14, verse 18, the apostle Paul says, "I speak in 
tongues more than ye all."
 

Acts 2:5-8 - And they were all amazed and marveled - (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 3)

Acts 2:5-8 KJV

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

They began to speak in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Holy Spirit Class - 1967 - Session - 2)

Acts 2:1-4 KJV
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Rotherham
And, when the day of pentecost was filling up the number of days they were all together with one intent;—
When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind,and it filled all the house where they were sitting;
And there appeared unto them—parting asunder—tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them;
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.

Acts 2:1-4 KJV
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Rotherham
And, when the day of Pentecost was filling up the number of days they were all together with one intent;—
When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind ,and it filled all the house where they were sitting;
And there appeared unto them—parting asunder—tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them;
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.

Timothy - With a Pure Heart

2 Coriththians  4:2 KJV
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Rotherham
But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully,—but, by the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves unto every conscience of men, in the sight of God.

1 Timothy 1:3-6 - Charity(agapē) out of a Pure Heart,

1 Timothy 1:3-6
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

Genuine vs Counterfeit
