In 1950, Latham and Rorheim founded Awana as a parachurch organization. [2] Rorheim served as president emeritus until his death on January 5, 2018. [3] The name is derived as an acronym of "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed", taken from 2 Timothy 2:15. [2] As of 2019, Awana claims to work with over 61,000 churches in 122 countries. [4]
2 Timothy 2:14-16 contains a number of commands addressed to Paul's co-worker (in the second person) about how one to teach or relate to those in disputes pertaining heresy.

This verse is missing from Tyndale's version (1534) and the Geneva Bible (1557).
Timothy is said to have been acquainted with the Scriptures since childhood. In 1 Corinthians 16:10, [14] there is a suggestion that he was by nature reserved and timid: "When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord". [15] Timothy's father was a Greek Gentile.
Paul includes Hymenaeus and Philetus among persons whose profane and vain babblings will increase towards more ungodliness, and whose teaching "will spread as a cancer" (2 Timothy 2:17 NLT). The apostle declares that Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples of those just described, and he adds that those two persons "concerning the truth have erred ...
N. T. Wright, former Bishop of Durham, says that 1 Timothy 2 is the "hardest passage of all" to exegete properly. [17] A number of interpretive approaches to the text have been made by both complementarians and egalitarians. The 1 Timothy 2:12 passage is only one "side" of a letter written by Paul, and is directed at a particular group.
Fragments showing 1 Timothy 2:2–6 on Codex Coislinianus, from ca. AD 550. The original Koine Greek manuscript has been lost, and the text of surviving copies varies. The earliest known writing of 1 Timothy has been found on Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 5259, designated P133, in 2017. It comes from a leaf of a codex which is dated to the 3rd century ...
