| The oft-quoted verse in 2 Timothy about studying to show yourself approved is not about reading books. The word study is about being diligent.2 Timothy 2:15New American Standard Bible (NASB)15 |

| Perhaps.But studying isn't a miss of the passage at all imho.Studying doesn't necessarily mean books - but could involve imitating others, observing the stars or seasons for signs/clues.And - you are not really studying unless you are diligently reading, taking notes, etc.. |

| Post subject: | Mark Ledbetter: Just a summary... |
| I have an unpublished work that I taught locally entitled Teaching Teachers to Teach. One chapter is devoted to this subject and I dubbed the Chapter The Ezra Principle. I'll try to summarize.Ezra is held to be the example of the Priest who set his heart to study the law of the Lord and dot practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel. (Ezra 7:10)He set his heart - the teacher must be teachable. The teacher's heart must become like fresh vellum ready for the Scribe to write upon our hearts...Approaching Yahweh with humility is the key unlocking the reservoir of His knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.Study is from the word darash meaning to seek with care. And as Bonnie points out, study in 2 Tim 2:15means to be diligent.Two thoughts on accurately handing the word of truth. One, it can refer to cutting straight paths, as in Proverbs 3:6. The teacher should cut straight paths to the truth and understanding.Two, it can refer to the precision the Priest uses in preparing the sacrifice, precisely cutting the organs and the fat, the joints and any portion reserved for the priest - all in the most humane manner relieving the animal of suffering.If the teacher prepares his or her lesson as a sacrifice to Yahweh, it will impress upon the heart and mind during preparation to be very careful, very precise in the way they approach their study.
