“Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority
in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them
to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the
very end of the age.’”
~ Matthew 28:18-20
“And the things you have heard me say in the
presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable
men who will also be qualified to teach others.”
~ 2 Timothy 2:2
“For though you have countless guides in Christ,
you do not have many fathers. For I became your
father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge
you, then, be imitators of me. That is why I sent
you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the
Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I
teach them everywhere in every church.”
~ 1 Corinthians 4:15-17
