2 Timothy 2:15-23
15Be diligent to 1present yourself approved to God as a worker who 2does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling 3the word of truth. 16But 4avoid 5worldly and empty chatter, for 6it will lead to further ungodliness, 17and their 7talk will spread like 8gangrene. Among them are 9Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18men who have gone astray from the truth, claiming that 10the resurrection has already taken place; and they are jeopardizing 11the faith of some. 19Nevertheless, the 12firm foundation of God stands, having this 13seal: “14The Lord knows those who are His;” and, “15Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to keep away from wickedness.”
20Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver implements, but also implements of wood and of earthenware, and 16some are for honor while others are for dishonor. 21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from 17these things, he will be an implement for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, 18prepared for every good work. 22Now 19flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, 20faith, love, and peace with those who 21call on the Lord 22from a pure heart. 23But refuse foolish and ignorant 23speculations, knowing that they 24produce 25quarrels.
