Hi there, Ric. Thanx for your reply. Glad to know that you have the initiative to study the Word on your own. 2 Timothy 2:15 is still in the book an a mandate to all believers. Should you wish to contact me persoanlly try rhhmhess@aol.com. As a bibliophile I'd be glad to recommend books to you. Since retiring I've given away about 2000 of my "friends," but have retained quite a few of my most used and needed. God bless you as you feed on the Word. BillK |

2 | 2 Timothy 2:15 is our mandate! | Revelation | Makarios | 7616 | ||
Yes, the mandate is clear! MacArthur's Study Bible says, concerning this verse, "Be diligent. This word denotes zealous persistence in accomplishing a goal. Timothy, like all who preach or teach the Word, was to give his maximum effort to impart God's Word completely, accurately, and clearly to his hearers. This is crucial to counter the disastrous effects of false teaching (vv. 14,16,17). 'rightly dividing' Lit. "cutting it straight"- a reference to the exactness demanded by such trades as carpentry, masonry, and Paul's trade of leather working and tentmaking. Precision and accuracy are required in biblical interpretation, beyond all other enterprises because the interpreter is handling God's Word. Anything less is shameful." |
