2 Timothy 2:21-25

21If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.

22Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

23Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.

24A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.

25Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth.
