King James Version
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.(2 Timothy 2:20)
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.(2 Timothy 2:21)
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.(2 Timothy 2:22)
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,(2 Timothy 2:24)
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;(2 Timothy 2:25)
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.(2 Timothy 2:26)
