2 Timothy 2:15-23
15Be diligent to 1present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling 2the word of truth. 16But 3avoid 4worldly and empty chatter, for 5it will lead to further ungodliness, 17and their 6talk will spread like 7gangrene. Among them are 8Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18men who have gone astray from the truth saying that 9the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset 10the faith of some. 19Nevertheless, the 11firm foundation of God stands, having this 12seal, “13The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “14Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”
20Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and 15some to honor and some to dishonor. 21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from 16these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, 17prepared for every good work. 22Now 18flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, 19faith, love and peace, with those who 20call on the Lord 21from a pure heart. 23But refuse foolish and ignorant 22speculations, knowing that they 23produce 24quarrels.
