Timothy is told to “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Sinabihan ni Pablo si Timoteo na "Pagsikapan mong maging karapat-dapat sa Diyos, manggagawang walang dapat ikahiya at tapat na nagtuturo ng katotohanan" (2 Timoteo 2:15).
