In the Pastoral Epistles Paul the need for the ability to teach as a requirement for a Bishop as well as other comments concerning the work of the Bishop as it relates to teaching.

 

1 Tim.3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach (1317);  

2 Tim. 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach (1317) patient,  

1 Tim. 4:6 If you instruct (5294) the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister (1249) of Jesus Christ, nourished (1789) in the words of faith and of the good doctrine (1319) which you have carefully followed.  

1 Tim. 4:13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine (1319).

1 Tim. 4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine (1319) Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.  

1 Tim. 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word (3056 'logos') and doctrine (1319).  

2 Tim. 3:10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine (1319), manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,  

2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine (1319),for reproof, for correction, for instruction (3809 paideia) in righteousness,  

2 Tim.. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine (1319), but according to their own desires, [because] they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers (1320)

Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful word (3056) as he has been taught (1322), that he may be able, by sound (5198) doctrine (1319), both to exhort and convict those who contradict.  

The Path to Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13  but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.  

Rejoice in the midst of Sufferings

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13  but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
