Not...ashamed (422) (anepaischuntos from a = without + epaischúnomai = be ashamed) describes the absence of a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety.
The diligent workman who handles the Word rightly is irreprehensible (blameless)
Diligence in handling the Word now prevents one from one day having to stand before God and experience the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of having done something dishonorable with the Word of Truth. Let us always seek to Be Bereans - Acts 17:11.
I want among the victor throng
Someday to have my name confessed;
And hear my Master say at last,
"You stand approved, you did your best!"
—Simpson
The diligent workman has no cause for shame and is not liable to be put to shame when his work is inspected.
Application: Could I challenge you to consider measuring all your thoughts, words and deeds by the phrase...
"A workman who does not need to be ashamed."
