My son, forget not my law;
But let thine heart keep my commandments:
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Tara timi-chaahi’ yi kuraa-haru kas-baaTa sikekaa haau, so jaanera aaphule sikekaa ra nischaya bhaekaa kuraa-haru-maa laagibas; 15 Ani timile baalakakaal-dekhi nai pabitra shaastra-haru kaanekaa chhaau; Jasle timi-laai KhrishT Yeshumaa bhaeko biswaas-duaaraa muktikaa nimti buddhimaan tulyaauna sakchhan.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The Christian should always be a learner, a student
Even Paul, toward the end of his life,
asked Timothy to bring him books
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
Jaba timi aauchhaau, taba tyo obharakoT lyaaideu, jun-chaahi’ maile Troaasmaa Kaarapas-kahaa’ chodeko chhu; Ani kitaab-haru pani, bishesh gari charma-patra-haru.
God commands us to study
Not just youth, not just adults
All biswaasi
But what should we study?
Student of principles(siddhanta-haru)
Student of principles(siddhanta-haru)
The principles of God’s Word
For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
Kinaki Ejraale ParamPrabhuko byabasTaako khoji garna, tyaslaai paalan garne ani Israael-maa tyaskaa bidhi-haru ra niyam-haru sikaauna-laai aaphno hridaya tayaar parekaa thie.
Ezra had a plan w/ 3 parts
Seek, Do, Teach
A. Seek
A. Seek
Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
That I might not sin against thee.
Tapaaiko birodhmaa paapo nagaru’ bhanera maile tapaaiko bachan aaphno hridayamaa lukaairaakeko chhu.
We should seek God’s word
Not just for our mind
But for our hearts
Do not waste opportunities to learn the God’s Word
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found,
Call ye upon him while he is near:
Jaba-samma Param-Prabhulaai bhettaauna sikanchha, taba-samma timi-haru-le uhaa’ko khoji gara! Uhaa’ najik hunuhu’daa nai timiharu uhaa’laai pukaar!
B. Do
B. Do
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Tara timi-haru bachan paalan garne-haru ho-o, sunne-haru maatra hoina, jasle aaphulaai dhokaa dinchhan.
Many people say: The Bible is difficult to understand
But that is not the true problem
Most people are not obeying the parts they do understand
Seek, do, teach
“It’s not the parts of the Bible I don’t understand that bother me, it’s the parts I do understand.”
C. Teach
C. Teach
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Ani derai saakshi-haruko bichamaa jun kuraa-haru timile ma-baaTa sunekaa chhaau, tinlaai timile biswaas-yogya maanis-harulaai sumpideu, jo aru-laai pani sikaaunamaa yogyakaa hunechhan.
If God’s Word is good for you, it is good for others
is good for you, it is good for others
It is our responsibility to teach others
Teaching also helps up to better understand our faith
How can I teach my faith if I have not learned it well
If I do not understand it well
If I do not obey it well
Seek(learn), Do, Teach - This is the life of a true student
2. Student of People
2. Student of People
We can learn from every person
Educated(sikshit) or uneducated(asikshit)
We can learn life skills
We can learn how to work well
We can learn many different things from many different people
A. People of History
A. People of History
We see many good examples in history and in the Bible
We can learn from:
Gideon - God can work in very difficult situations
Jonah - That nothing is too hard for God
Moses - That God has a special plan for each of us
Hosea - That we can always forgive
Paul - That God can use anyone(kasaile)
Nicodemus - All people must be born again (big and small)
Joseph - God will never forsake us
Ruth - God is ready to redeem us(chutkaara dinu)
But we can also learn from bad examples
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Jasari tini-harule laalasaa gare, usari haamile chaahi’ kharaab kuraa-haruko laalasaa garnu-hu’daina bhanne bichaar-le yi kuraa-haru-chaahi’ aba haamraa nimti udaa-haran bhaekaa chhan.
When studying men of the past, ask:
Why did God give me this example?
What truth or principle can I learn from this life?
What things can I learn to NOT do?
B. People from the present
B. People from the present
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Aaphnaa aguwaa-haru-laai samjhanaa gara, jasle timi-harulaai Parameswarko bachan sunaaekaa chhan; Uni-haruko chaal-chalan-ko parinaam bichaar garera uni-haruko biswaasko dekhaasiki gara.
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Jasari ma KhrishTko dekhaasiki gardachhu, usari nai timiharu pani mero dekhaasiki garne ho-o.
Do not worship spiritual leaders
Do not follow them into sin
But learn from them
As a good student
3. Student of God
3. Student of God
We should learn about God himself
Who is he?
What has he done?
What is his will?
A. Attributes(bisheshtaa) of God the father:
A. Attributes(bisheshtaa) of God the father:
God is love and we should love
God is just and we should be just
God forgives and we should forgive
God is faithful and we should be faithful
God is holy and we should be holy
B. Attributes of God the Son(Jesus)(putra)
B. Attributes of God the Son(Jesus)(putra)
Jesus was our great example
Came to earth and lived as a man
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Kinaki yasaikaa nimti timi-haru bolaaiekaa pani haau; Kinabhane timi-haru uhaa’kai paailaa-harukaa pachhi-pachhi hi’da bhanera nai haamraa laagi euTaa namunaa chhoDdai KhrishTle haamraa nimti dukha bhognu-bhayo.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Ani haami jaandachhaau, Parameswarlaai prem garne-haru-kaa nimti sabai kuraa milera bhalaai nai utpanna gardachhan - uniharukaa nimti, jo uhaa’kai manasaaya-anusaar bolaaiekaa chhan. 29 Kinabhane jaslaai uhaa’le pahile nai jaannu-bhaeko thiyo, uni-haru-chaahi’ aaphnai putrako rupamaa Dhaaliun bhanera uhaa’le uni-harulaai pahile nai Thaharaaunu pani bhayo, yasaile ki uhaa’-chaahi’ anekaau bhaai-harukaa bicha-maa jeThaa houn.

Comforter
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Taapani ma timi-harulaai satya kuraa bhandachhu, ma gaeko-maa nai timi-harulaai phaaidaa chha; Kinaki ma gaina’ bhane shantidaataa timi-haru-kahaa’ aaunu-hunechhaina; Tara ma gaae’ bhane ma uhaa’laai timi-haru-kahaa’ paTaaunechhu.
Guide
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Taapani jaba uhaa’ arthaat satyako atmaa aaunuhunchha, taba uhaa’le timi-haru-laai sabai satyataa-bhitra Doryaaunuhunechha; Kina-bhane uhaa’le aaphnai tarpha-baaTa bolnuhunechhaina, tara he uhaa’le sunu-hunechha, tyahi bolnu-hunechha; Ani uhaa’le timi-harulaai aaune kuraa-haru bataaunuhunechha.
Helps us live for God
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ani ma mero aatmaa timiharubhitra haalidinechhu, ra timi-harulaai meraa bidhi-haru =maa hidne tulyaaunechhu; ani timi-harule meraa niyam-haru hoshiyaar-saath paalan garnechhaau;
