Doctrine:

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets
itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to
make it obedient to Christ.

1 Timothy 4:16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them,
because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound
doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a
great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Titus 1:9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been
taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those

who oppose it.

Titus 2:1 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.

Knowledge:

Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
"Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.

Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the
Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and
examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true


Romans 10:2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but
their zeal is not based on knowledge.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

2 Peter 3:17-18 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on
your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men
and fall from your secure position. 18But grow in the grace and knowledge of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

2 Timothy 6:20-21 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn
away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called
knowledge, 21which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the
faith.  Grace be with you.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men
to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

2 peter 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith
goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
