Reading the above passage has more impact if you read these following verses that happened as a result of Paul being “occupied with the Word.”
Acts 18:11
And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paul was able to teach God’s Word because he studied God’s Word. Note the same thing happened to Apollos in chapter 18:
Acts 18:26
He (Apollos) began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Acts 18:27-28
And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
Those who wish to teach the truths of the Scripture must be students of the Scripture. We must spend out time learning more and more about God and the truths about Him and from Him in the Book of Truth.
