What does it mean to be taught the word ("receive instruction in the word," NIV)?

Galates 6:6 (NEG79)

6 Que celui à qui l'on enseigne la parole fasse part de tous ses biens à celui qui l'enseigne.

To be taught the word (or to receive instruction in the word) refers to oral instruction in the gospel (see 1 Corinthians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Corinthians 15:2; 2 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Corinthians 4:2), 1 the teaching of the apostles (2 Thessalonians 2:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:6). 2 This would involve being taught in formal settings, such as worship services, as well as extra teaching that takes place in smaller group contexts. All Christians receive instruction in the Word on a regular basis if they are members in a local church where there is a pastor or a teaching elder.
