2 Timothy 2:15-23

15Be diligentG4704 to 1presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workmanG2040 who does not needG422 to be ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 2the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 3avoidG4026 4worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 5it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 6talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 7gangreneG1044. Among them are 8HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225 sayingG3004 that 9the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096, and they upsetG396 10the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 11firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 12sealG4973, “13The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His,” and, “14EveryoneG3956 who namesG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 is to abstainG868 from wickednessG93.”

20NowG1161 in a largeG3173 houseG3614 there are not onlyG3440 goldG5552 and silverG693 vesselsG4632, but alsoG2532 vessels of woodG3585 and of earthenwareG3749, and 15someG3739 to honorG5092 and someG3739 to dishonorG819. 21ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 from 16theseG3778 things, he will be a vesselG4632 for honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to the MasterG1203, 17preparedG2090 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22NowG1161 18fleeG5343 from youthfulG3512 lustsG1939 and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, 19faithG4102, loveG26 and peaceG1515, with thoseG3588 who 20callG1941 on the LordG2962 21from a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But refuseG3868 foolishG3474 and ignorantG521 22speculationsG2214, knowingG3609 that they 23produceG1080 24quarrelsG3163.
