2 Timothy 2:19-26
19NeverthelessG3305, God’sG3588G2316 firmG4731 foundationG2310 standsG2476, bearingG2192 thisG3778 sealG4973: “The LordG2962 knowsG1097 those whoG3588 areG1510 HisG846,”1 andG2532, “EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 calls onG3687 theG3588 nameG3686 of the LordG2962 must turn awayG868 fromG575 iniquityG93.”
A largeG3173 houseG3614 containsG1510 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 clayG3749. SomeG3739 indeedG3303 are forG1519 honorableG5092 use, butG1161 othersG3739 are forG1519 commonG819 use. 21SoG3767 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 ofG575 what is unfit,2 he will beG1510 a vesselG4632 forG1519 honorG5092: sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to theG3588 MasterG1203, and preparedG2090 forG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
Flee fromG5343 youthfulG3512 passionsG1939 andG1161 pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, loveG26, and peaceG1515, together withG3326 those whoG3588 call onG1941 theG3588 LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
23ButG1161 rejectG3868 foolishG3474 andG2532 ignorantG521 speculationG2214, for you knowG1492 thatG3754 it breedsG1080 quarrelingG3163. 24AndG1161 a servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 be quarrelsomeG3164, butG235 must beG1510 kindG2261 toG4314 everyoneG3956, able to teachG1317, and forbearingG420. 25He must gentlyG1722G4240 reproveG3811 those whoG3588 opposeG475 him, in the hope thatG3361G4219 GodG2316 may grantG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 leading toG1519 a knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225. 26ThenG2532 they will come to their sensesG366 and escape theG3588 snareG3803 of theG3588 devilG1228, who has taken them captiveG2221G5259 toG1519 hisG1565 willG2307.
