Romans 2:21
Romans 2:21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself.
Self-reflection is an essential part of teaching, reminding us to live by the principles we share with others. There is a powerful call here for teachers and leaders to embody the wisdom they impart, ensuring their lives align with their words. Hypocrisy undermines the integrity of teaching, as it creates a disconnect between message and action. True wisdom is not merely in words but in a life that consistently demonstrates understanding and virtue. When we teach others, we are also teaching ourselves, being reminded of the standards we set for others. This alignment between teaching and living creates authenticity and respect, fostering a genuine influence that inspires others to seek wisdom and integrity. As leaders, we are called to exemplify the principles we advocate, for our lives are often the most powerful testimony of the truths we hold dear.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 13:14
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life to turn one away from the snares of death.
Psalms 86:11
Teach me thy way, O Lord I will walk in thy truth unite my heart to fear thy name.
Deuteronomy 6:7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
