2 Timothy 2:14-16

Good News Translation

An Approved Worker

¹⁴ Remind your people of this, and give them a solemn warning in God's presence not to fight over words. It does no good, but only ruins the people who listen. ¹⁵ Do your best to win full approval in God's sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God's truth. ¹⁶ Keep away from profane and foolish discussions, which only drive people farther away from God.
