2 Timothy 2:15

A Worker Approved To God And Not Ashamed

¹⁴ Counsel these things, charging them before the Lord. Strive not in words that profit nothing, but rather subvert the hearers. ¹⁵ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. ¹⁶ But avoid profane and vain wordiness, for it will develop into ungodliness.
