11Tim. 2:5. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

See, these ungodly men brought up profane and vain BABBLINGS. This increases unto more ungodliness. Their words eat you up as a cancer.

18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

See in departing from the Holy Scriptures, they erred from the truth.......for his Word is truth.

19. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

.....depart from iniquity....watch those who depart from the Word.....they will tell you sins in the human flesh are NOT INIQUITY. For they live ungodly lives and this is why they depart from the Written Word.......for it reproves them of their sin......so they bring up profane babblings....saying their words are the Scripture and not the Written Word.

20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Purge oneself.....from iniquity.......... not reading the Word...... from human flesh sins.

22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

...flee [run.get away from. youthful LUSTS]. follow righteousness.....etc. This is the way to be Holy. One cannot be Holy in the mind and ungodly in their body.

Study--- to shew thyself approved to God. Study WHAT?

11Tim. 3:13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

........the Holy Scriptures.>>>>>>>

which are able to make thee wise UNTO SALVATION......through FAITH....the law is not of faith.....

FAITH in Christ Jesus. [Is Acts 2: 38 Scripture? then it is unto salvation.]

ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable........

for doctrine,

for reproof..........WHAT? FOR REPROVING? >>>>> yes.........

for CORRECTION>>> to correct yourself....... or to use to correct others>>>>>> do this correcting how? with the written Scriptures.>>>>

for instruction in righteousness............. find the way to be righteous. .......where? In the Holy Scriptures......not some evil man's words.

Verse 13>evil men wax worse and worse........deceiving....and being deceived........how? by taking you away from the Holy Scriptures which are given by God to reprove, correct, and instruct us.

So.......STUDY.......why?.........to show yourself APPROVED to God.

Correct yourself.......how? with the Written Word of God.........not evil men's deceiving, twisted words.....how do they twist the Word?.........by taking a part of something and telling it wrong.......not placing it with the rest of the Written Word.......and by making you doubt the truth and need for the Written Word.

11Tim. 2: 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

3:15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

How am I going to find and STUDY Words which are not written in Ink?
