II Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Doctrine: Right Teaching / Right Believing
Reproof: Telling someone when they are wrong, when they are not believing according to the Rightly Divided Word
Correction: Teaching and leading someone back to Right Believing
All three of these are: Instruction in Righteousness
Here is my question?
If this verse is true, which we all should know it is, why is it frowned upon when someone Teaches, Reproves or Corrects another, with the intention of Instructing them in Righteousness?
If people err because they do not know the Word, the Scriptures, then logically they need a knowledge of God's Word.
The Word must be our basis for getting them back to right believing through reproof and correction.
No one can know the power of God and live according to God's plan without knowing the Scriptures.
As God's servants we must be the ones to lovingly hold forth the accuracy and integrity of His Word to people and offer reproof and correction when they are needed.
In doing this we are offering instruction in righteousness, which is a benefit to the body of believers.
