Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:15 Go To 2 Timothy 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
This he has well said. For many distort the text of Scripture and pervert it in every way, and many additions are made to it. He has not said “directing” but “rightly dividing,” that is, cutting away what is spurious, with much vehemence assailing it and extirpating it. With the sword of the Spirit cut off from your preaching, as from a thong, whatever is superfluous and foreign to it.
