2 Timothy 2:15

---

← 2 Timothy 2:14	2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)	2 Timothy 2:16 →
Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers.	Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.	But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
