15 Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.

15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to give you the wisdom you need for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,17 so that the man of God may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

13 Until I arrive, concentrate on the public reading of Scripture, on exhorting, and on teaching.

17 And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continually be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people, lest you fall from your secure position.18 Instead, continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and on that eternal day! Amen.

10 Even the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours, carefully researched and investigated this salvation.11 They tried to find out what era or specific time the Spirit of Christ in them kept referring to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
