    "occurrenceNote": "Paul refers figuratively to **the word of truth** as if it were a path that someone was cutting through difficult terrain. When such a path is **straight**, travelers can follow it directly to their destination. By contrast, the useless discussions that Paul describes in [2:14](rc://en/ult/book/2ti/02/14) and [2:16](rc://en/ult/book/2ti/02/16) would be needless detours in terms of this same metaphor. Alternate translation: “show people how to follow the Scriptures directly” or “teach the Scriptures correctly so that people can follow them” (See: [Metaphor](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor))",
