My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: / Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: / For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; / And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: / That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
