II Timothy 2:20-2:26

Vessels of Honor

  1. 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. 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.
  3. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
  4. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
  5. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
  6. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
  7. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
