  8. 2. Soul Knowledge No one knows everything and thus we need the knowledge and insight of others to fulfill our purpose

  9. 3. Grace Gifts Each of us is given a particular gift of grace that rubs off on others. They don’t get yours and you don’t get theirs without the church not part of the picture. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 20b

  10. 4. Persecution Truth persecution means having help from the church around the world is vital.

  11. 5. Soul Development Learning about and meeting the needs of the soul takes a lifetime and lots of cooperation and mentoring. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. 19

  12. 6. Soul Danger The Enemies of God are sneaky – it takes teamwork to overcome them. I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 17

  13. 7. Faith Expression Our pride and rebellion is hard to see. It takes teamwork to reveal it and root it out. Prayer and worship are designed to be group activities to deal with soul troubles. Singing together is part of the process.
