Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim 2:15).So ... do you?
Do I what?
Do you study to show yourself approved unto God? Are you a workman who, without shame, works hard to rightly divide the word of truth?
Umm, well, you know, that's old King James.
Okay. And?
Well, the modern versions say something like, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." (ESV)
Okay. Do you?
Do I what?
Do you do your best to present yourself to God as one approved? Are you diligent about rightly handling the Word?
Umm, well ...
It's not a complicated command. It's not a tricky command. Be diligent with God's Word. Is it a command you're working on obeying? No, not my theoretical conversationalist here -- you, the reader. Note that "once every Sunday" is not "diligent". Something to consider.
