  13. Context of Verse • Rom 12:1 • ESV: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” • KJV: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

  14. Context of Paragraph • 2 Tim 3:16-17 • All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

  15. Context of Chapter • 1 Tim 3:11 • ESV: “Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things.” • NASB: “Women must likewise be dignified”

  16. Context of Book • 1 Tim 4:16 • “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (ESV).

  17. Context of the NT (Gen 15:6) • Rom 4:2-3 • “For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? ‘Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.’” • Jas 2:21-23 • “Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness’—and he was called a friend of God.”
