Catherine Scott's Highlights
Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

highlighted 1 Timothy 2:11-15 ESV
Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.For Adam was formed first, then Eve;and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 1:16-20 ESV
But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 1:13-15 ESV
though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

highlighted 1 Timothy 1:10-12 ESV
the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 1:6-9 ESV
Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion,desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,

Catherine Scott
highlighted 1 Timothy 1:1-5 ESV
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

highlighted 2 Thessalonians 3:15-18 ESV
Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 3:11-14 ESV
For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 3:9-10 ESV
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 3:6-8 ESV
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you,nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.

Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 3:4-5 ESV
And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you,and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.
Sep 17
Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 2:12-17 ESV
in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

highlighted 2 Thessalonians 2:7-11 ESV
and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,

Catherine Scott
highlighted 2 Thessalonians 2:4-6 ESV
who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
