2 Timothy 2:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

A good worker for God

¹⁴ Continue to tell these things to God's people there, so that they remember them. Use God's authority and warn them not to quarrel about words. To quarrel about little things does not help anyone. Instead, it destroys those people who listen.

¹⁵ Always try very much to serve God in a way that makes him happy. Then he will accept you as a good worker that he can trust. You must teach God's true message correctly. Then you will have no reason to be ashamed of your work. ¹⁶ But stay away from people who talk about silly things that are not important to God. A message like that causes people to live more and more in a way that does not please God.
