Lesson 5c-How to study the Bible

2 Tim 2:15-16 (KJV)
Study to show thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
{16} But shun profane and vain babblings:
for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Prov 1:1-7 (KJV)
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
{2} To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
{3} To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
{4} To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
{5} A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
{6} To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;
the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
{7} The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

(Neh 8:1-10 KJV)
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate;
and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
{2} And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women,
and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
{3} And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday,
before the men and the women, and those that could understand;
and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law....

{5} And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;)
and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
{6} And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God.
And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands:
and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
{7} Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah,
Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites,
caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.

{8} So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly,
and gave the sense,
and caused them to understand the reading.

{9} And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe,
and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people,
This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep.
For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
{10} Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet,
and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared:
for this day is holy unto our Lord:
neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

(2 Tim 2:2 KJV)
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses,
the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also.
