“Rightly Dividing” – Bible study

The apostle Paul once wrote to Timothy these words:

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

It’s interesting to note that the phrase rightly dividing in the above passage is a metaphor derived from the stonemasons craft of cutting stones straight to fit into their proper place in a building.

Precision with words is essential to an accurate interpretation of Gods Word (Matthew 4:4).

Like the noble Bereans, let’s deeply care what the Bible says and what it means (Acts 17:10-11).
