The King James Version Bible

2 Timothy 2:21-26

  1. 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. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

  3. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

  4. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

  5. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

  6. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
