2 Timothy 2:16-22

16But avoid profane chatter, because those occupied with it will stray further and further into ungodliness,

17and their message will spread its infection like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group.

18They have strayed from the truth by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

19However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”

20Now in a wealthy home there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also ones made of wood and of clay, and some are for honorable use, but others for ignoble use.

21So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

22But keep away from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
