2 Timothy 2:15-23

15Be diligentG4704 to 1presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workerG2040 who 2doesG422 notG422 needG422 toG422 beG422 ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 3the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 4avoidG4026 5worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 6it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 7talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 8gangreneG1044. Among them are 9HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225, claimingG3004 that 10the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096; and they areG396 jeopardizingG396 11the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 12firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 13sealG4973: “14The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His;” and, “15EveryoneG3956 who namesG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 is to keepG868 awayG868 from wickednessG93.”

20NowG1161 in a largeG3173 houseG3614 there are not onlyG3440 goldG5552 and silverG693 implementsG4632, but alsoG2532 implements of woodG3585 and of earthenwareG3749, and 16someG3739 are for honorG5092 while othersG3739 are for dishonorG819. 21ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 from 17theseG3778 things, he will be an implementG4632 for honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to the MasterG1203, 18preparedG2090 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22NowG1161 19fleeG5343 from youthfulG3512 lustsG1939 and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, 20faithG4102, loveG26, and peaceG1515 with thoseG3588 who 21callG1941 onG1941 the LordG2962 22from a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But refuseG3868 foolishG3474 and ignorantG521 23speculationsG2214, knowingG3609 that they 24produceG1080 25quarrelsG3163.
