Who wrote this and whos intention was it for these words to be written? These are not Pauls words but rather those of God. Do not take this lightly! Gods intention was that the word study was the appropriate choice God intended for the world to be able to read and make the choice for themselves. You do not have to believe. I suggest you try and believe because there will always be those who can use philosophy and other mens teaching to try and cause doubt in God. I believe In Gods preserved Word. Nothing no man can say will change my mind. Let God be true and all men liars.

They are Paul’s words (2 Ti 1:1-2) as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet 1:21). It is accurate to say that Paul wrote 2 Timothy or to say that God wrote 2 Timothy, because both are true. Jesus used this convention to refer to Scripture (Mark 10:3).
Paul did not use the English word “study.” The Holy Spirit chose the Greek word “spoudazo”. Wycliffe used the English word “basili” in 1395 maybe we should stay with that word. Or do you think that between 1395 and Tyndale’s rendering of “study” in this text in 1525 that English speaking people did not have God’s inspired Word but were using a pre-modern corrupt version for a hundred and thirty years?
