Verse 12
Every Christian becomes capable of instructing others when he or she learns the elementary truths of the faith. This is true whether one has the gift of teaching (i.e., the ability to communicate with unusual clarity and effectiveness) or not. However, when we fail to pass on what we know, we begin to lose what we know. Eventually, we may need to relearn the most basic teachings of Scripture. When we stop growing, we start shrinking. We do not just stay the same.
"Christians who have really progressed in the faith ought to be able to instruct others (as 1 Peter 3:15 shows; cf. Romans 2:21)." [Note: Morris, p. 51.]
