What does orthotemeo mean?
2 Timothy 2:19 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. In the Greek the word is ὀρθοτομέω orthotoméō, or-thot-om-eh'-o; from a compound of G3717 and the base of G5114, to make a straight cut, i.e. (figuratively) to dissect (expound) correctly (the divine message):—rightly divide. Patrician. No other translation relays the message like this. Other translations will render it in innocuous statements such as the NASB95 "accurately handling." So what does that mean? Does it means to interpret anyway feel like? In Ephesians 3:2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) What is this mystery? If you read further in the chapter you will discover that the mystery is this Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Connecting The Dots Galatians 4:21-31 Genesis 16, 17 and 21
Galations 5: 29 But as then he that was born AFTER THE FLESH persecuted him that was born AFTER THE SPIRIT, even so it is now. 30. Nevertheless
what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 31.
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Genesis 17 Sarai gives Abram the bond servant Hagar to have his child, because she was barren. Hagar conceives and bare Ishmael. He is the son
of the bond woman mentions in Galations 4.
In Genesis 17 God changes Abram's name to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah by adding the Hebrew letter "He." When you pronounce the letter you breath
out. So evidently this represents God breathed into Abraham and Sarah.
In Genesis 21 God opens Sarah's womb and she bares Abraham Isaac who is the son of the free woman in Galations 4.
So quite litterally Ishmael was born AFTER THE FLESH and Isaac was born AFTER THE SPIRIT.

I didn't deserve the death penalty for his crimes.
I was almost aborted when my biological mother was two months pregnant. She was raped when she was only 14 years old. My adoptive parents took my biological mother in their home and took care of her in every sense during her whole pregnancy. When I was born they gave her the option to chose giving me up for adoption or keeping me. She chose to give me up and my parents adopted me. My adoptive parents kept taking care of my biological mother (whom I never met by choice) supported her, gave her a home and paid for her studies until she was 22, when she was able to be independent and make a living for herself (I know she got married to a great guy when she was 24). I adore my parents and I'll be forever grateful to my mother because thanks to them, I was adopted, not aborted. My biological father was a rapist but I didn't deserve the death penalty for his crimes.
