1. Review 1 Timothy 2:9–10 and describe in writing what Paul said about dress standards. How does Doctrine and Covenants 61:18, 36 help us understand that what Paul taught applies to both men and women? Study Moses 6:9; Mosiah 2:37; Alma 41:2. Then list three reasons our bodies could be considered sacred. How does understanding that our bodies are sacred help us know why they should be covered modestly? What is mentioned in Alma 1:32 that relates to the other concern Paul mentioned about dress? What can you do to apply these principles in your life?
Paul warns the women to dress modestly and in D&C it tells us that a commandment given to one includes everyone.
In Moses, Mosiah and Alma we are told that we are made in the Lord's image and that our bodies are like temples and we should take great care of them. We will also be resurrected with this body and need to make sure it is in the best shape we can have it. Knowing that our bodies will need to last forever we see that modesty is key. he warns us against being obsessed with riches. -We can continue to be examples to others and dress modestly.
2. List the evidences Paul mentioned in 1 Timothy 4:1–5 that an apostasy would not only come in the future, but that some people were already practicing false doctrines.
The people were hypocrites, they altered the gospel and abstaining from meats.
3. How could Paul’s counsel to Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12 be used to strengthen a new missionary or a young person called to serve in any responsibility?
If they are examples of righteousness "in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity" then people will be less likely to judge them based on their age.
4. Review 1 Timothy 6:7–11 and answer the following questions:
o What did Paul teach about the love of money?
The love of money is the "root of all evil" and will never lead to good things.
o In what sense is the love of money the “root of all evil”?
It is leads to covetousness, leads them away from the gospel, and leads to bad consequences.
5. What guidelines are given in 1 Timothy 6:17–19 and Jacob 2:18–19 that when followed can help ensure that you do not focus too much on money or material wealth?
We are told to "charge them that are rich," not trust in riches, distribute wealth, give willingly, seek the kingdom of God, and serve others
