A worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth shares with the ones who seek for it as a hidden treasure!
Everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation. Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. See, I have told you in advance. So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it for false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!” Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus, for even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me. Remind the believers of these things, avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.”
