2 Timothy 2:15-23
15 Be diligent to apresent yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling bthe word of truth. 16 But aavoid bgodless and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, 17 and their word will spread like gangrene. Among them are aHymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have gone astray from the truth saying that athe resurrection has already taken place, and they upset bthe faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, the afirm foundation of God stands, having this bseal, “cThe Lord knows those who are His,” and, “dEveryone who names the name of the Lord is to edepart from wickedness.”
20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of clay, and asome to honor and some to dishonor. 21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from athese things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, having been bprepared for every good work. 22 Now aflee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, bfaith, love, and peace, with those who ccall on the Lord dfrom a pure heart. 23 But refuse foolish and ignorant aspeculations, knowing that they bproduce quarrels.
