From what I can find the main Catholic Bible is the New American Standard Bible but it looks to me like there is a “Catholic version” of many of the versions. Oy!

Here’s the verse you asked about.

2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (New American Standard)

2 Tim. 2: 15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (KJV) You might be interested in reading this.

“Several early scholars and printers, including early Protestant leaders Erasmus, William Tyndale and Martin Luther, worked to translate the original Greek Bible into their own respective languages, and in so doing found differences in textual meaning that troubled them deeply.”

From what I can find much of what we use has been rearranged and changed for the Catholics. Some of it slightly some rather drastically. One claring example is the ten commandments and the ones I’ve already posted. They have no “thou shalt not have any graven images” it looks like.

Thanks for the search. Yeah, they “disappeared” the 2nd Commandment. Can’t have that and statues everywhere, it just wouldn’t be right. Something had to go, and it looks like it was the Commandment.

Nope. Not the NAS. The NAB. It’s an in house version and of dubious quality. But there is a Catholic approved RSV. The only difference I noted is that when an alternate reading is in a footnote in the regular RSV, it will be in-line in the text while the other meaning is in the footnotes.
