2 Timothy Chapter 2 - Marianne Manley

Apostle Paul uses 7 figures of speech to tell Timothy how to serve God: as a son, a good soldier, an athlete, a farmer, a workman, a vessel and a servant.
Timothy is to be strong in His grace and to pass on the doctrine Christ gave Paul to faithful men who will be able to teach other men the SAME doctrine also.
Study God’s word God’s way cutting straight where God divides His word between Mystery and Prophecy.
But avoid wrong dividers because their useless babblings will result in more ungodliness.
Their word will eat up the truth as a caterpillar eats everything in its sight.
Paul gives an example of two wrong dividers.
Apostle Paul "marks" or names the wrong dividers.
