That's because the Greek text doesn't say RIGHTLY DIVIDING.It seems however; that Many do not obey The Instruction give. "Study to show Yourself approved of God, A WORKMAN, who need not be ashamed. "RIGHTY DIVIDING" the word of Truth.
I've mentioned before, and I shall repeat myself again, that a BAD translation cannot help but yield BAD doctrine. If I recall, I even gave you a link to a Greek Lexicon online that proved the word ὀρθοτομέω ought to be translated as "Teach Aright" or Rightly Teaching.
Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.
- 2 Timothy 2:15 RVDo your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.
- 2 Timothy 2:15 NRSVThis KJV four hundred year old mutation has turned into a cult.
Which I think @The Gospel of Christ correctly attributes to Scofield.
God bless, (incoming PM)
