A worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth shares with the one that has knocked and knocked asking that it(TRUTH) be opened unto them!
“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts. God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: ”For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad and again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.” 6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval. Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God for all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work. Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.
