2 Timothy 2:10-22
-
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
-
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
-
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
-
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
-
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
-
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
-
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
-
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
-
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
-
20 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.
-
21 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.
-
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
