THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - I & II TIMOTHY; TITUS; PHILEMON

  The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.

I TIMOTHY
Chapter 1

1:1      Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;      Christ Name - Jesus Christ, Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ;  God the Saviour and Lord;  Christ is the churches hope;  Christ apostles;  the Lord commands;

1:4      Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:  so do.    God's church warned to not give heed to fables and endless genealogies;   God's church to be edified in faith; God's church to have faith in Him;

1:5     Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:     God's commandment of charity out of a pure heart, and good conscience;  God's church have faith unfeigned;  

1:6      From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;     God's children have turned aside to vain jangling;  God's children warned;

1:7      Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.     God's church warned of those that understand not what they say, nor affirm things;  

1:8      But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;     God's law is good;  And God said/spoke;   

1:9      Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers;      God's law for sinners;  God's righteous men;  God's law declared;

1:10      and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;    God's sound doctrine;  God's law, God's word;  and God said/spoke;   God's church to follow and know sound doctrine;

1:11       According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.     God's gospel glorious;  And God said/spoke;   God blessed;  God commit gospel to Paul;

1:13      Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I did did it ignorantly in unbelief.    God's mercy obtained;  God's knows men in ignorance and unbelief;

1:14      And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.    God's grace exceeding abundant with faith and love;  Christ Jesus gives faith and love through His grace to His children;

1:15      This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief.     And God said/spoke;  Christ came into world;  Christ came to save sinners;  God's word is faithful and worthy of all acceptance;

1:16      Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting.       God's mercy obtained;  Christ shows longsuffering;  Christ shows pattern to them which shall believe;  Christ believed on;  Christ gives life everlasting to them which believe on Him;

1:17      Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.     Christ is the King;  Christ is eternal;  Christ is immortal;  Christ is invisible;  Christ is only wise God;  God is wise;  God to receive honor and glory for ever and ever;

1:18      This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on the thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;      God's children charged with charge to keep;  God's prophecies given;  God's children to war a good warfare;

1:19      Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:      God's children hold faith and good conscience;   God's faith not to be put away;  God's children not to be shipwreck;

1:20       Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.     God's children delivered unto Satan;  God blasphemed;  

Chapter 2

2:1      I exhort therefore, that, first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;       God prayed to;  God receives supplications, intercession;  God thanked;  God thanked for all men;

2:2      For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.      God prayed to for kings and those in authority;  

2:3       For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;     God our Savior;  God's sight;

2:4       Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.     God's desire to for all men to be saved;  God truth for men to come unto knowledge of;

2:12       But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usup authority over the man, but to be in silence.     God's instructions for women in the church to not teach, nor to ursurp authority over men, but to be in silence;

2:13       For Adam was first formed, then Eve.     God formed Adam first;  God then formed Eve;

2:14       And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.        God's creation deceived and transgresseth against Him;

2:15       Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.     God's children, women, to continue in faith, charity, holiness with sobriety;

3:9       Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.      God's mystery of faith to be held by deacons with pure conscience;

3:10      And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.     God's officers of deacons to first be proved;  God's deacons to be found blameless;

3:15      But fi I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.     God's church to know how to behave;  God's house;  God's church of the living God;  God is alive;  God's church founded on pillar and ground of the truth;  God's truth, God's word and ways;  

3:16       And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:  God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.     God's mystery of godliness;   Christ manifest in flesh;  Christ justified in Spirit;  God's Spirit justifies;  God seen of angels;  God's gospel preached to Gentiles;   God's gospel believed on in world;  Christ received up into glory;  God's glory place of heaven;
