    14Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

    15Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

    16But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

    17and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

    18men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

    19However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

    20Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.

    21If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

    22Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

    23But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

    24The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,

    25in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

    26and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
