2 Timothy 2:16-22

16But avoid godless chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness

17and their words will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymeneaus and Philetus—

18men who have missed the mark concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place. They are overturning the faith of some.

19Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.”

20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay—some for honor and some for common use.

21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor—sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

22Now flee from youthful desires; instead, pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and shalom, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
