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. . . . Nevertheless the
foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his.
II Timothy 2:14–16, 19
