1 Timothy 4:13

King James Bible
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

New International Version
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.

I have come across questions that have relationships with some of the points in the verse above.
Paul, writing to his protege encouraged him to continue the ministry work AND particularly encouraging him to continue
* Reading (the scripture)
* Preaching (exhortation)
* Teaching (doctrine)

One of the questions I came across on the forum is about what the "scripture" is (holding that Paul is definitely not referring to his epistle(s) and other epistles).

To put it forth, my question...
1) Which scripture was he referring to? OR what was he referring to generally to be read (if it was not the scripture)
2) What doctrines was he talking about?

All teachers are welcome.

Thanks.

Read with the inspiration of holy spirit to understand

Its the book of the Law that is being referred to there. You will recall that when Jesus was being tempted he was quoting from the book of Deuteronomy to counter the devil and it was amended by him too.
Matt. 5:18-21
18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

 19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

 20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

 21  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

so what has been taught then and read in churches was the book of the Law and other notable events on reigning of Kings and Prophecies given by Prophets. But Jesus in that text there was explaining going beyond that which they have read and taught before

He was referring to those books that Satan and Jesus his younger brother were quoting while tempting each other.

the scriptures most often read are the writings of the Prophets, Psalms and that of the Patriarchs.

The doctrine is that which was given by the Apostles and some were added through the help of the spirit of revelation.

no. The law are conducts of how israel should behave and go about their spiritual journey...if they do, then circumcision will be enforced among the gentiles, unless they want to draw out something from there in contrast to the grace now given by the Lord Jesus.

Psalms and the writings of the prophets are revelational, so they read that most often.

circumcision came before the Mosaic Law. Note that

I know but it is part of the law and very inherent in the mosaic principles , which Paul said is not compulsory for the gentiles. They(jews) saw it as a law also given by Yahweh and anyone who wants to partake of the commonwealth of israel should do. So, it isn't abt the doctrines of the past but the revelation of the Spirit.
