mnt - 2Timothy:2:14-26

mnt@2Timothy:2:14 @ Always call these truths to mens mind; adjuring them in the presence of God to avoid controversy. It is a useless thing, and subverts those who listen to it.

mnt@2Timothy:2:15 @ Strive earnestly to present yourself unto God, tested and proved worthy by trial, a workman unashamed, ever cutting a straight path for the message of the truth.

mnt@2Timothy:2:16 @ but avoid profane babble; for people will go farther and farther in impiety,

mnt@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their teaching will spread like a gangrene.

mnt@2Timothy:2:18 @ Among such are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have gone astray concerning the truth by declaring that the resurrection is already past; and they are undermining the faith of some.

mnt@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless Gods firm foundation stands unshaken, bearing this inscription, THE LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS, and this also, LET EVERY ONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE LORD RENOUNCE WICKEDNESS.

mnt@2Timothy:2:20 @ Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for noble, some for ignoble uses.

mnt@2Timothy:2:21 @ If then a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he will be a vessel for honor, consecrated, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

mnt@2Timothy:2:22 @ Flee from the passions of youth, but run after righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who out of a pure heart call upon the Lord.

mnt@2Timothy:2:23 @ Ever shun foolish and puerile discussions, for you know that they lead to quarrels.

mnt@2Timothy:2:24 @ The Lords slave must not quarrel, but must be kind to all men; a skilful teacher, patient of wrong.

mnt@2Timothy:2:25 @ He must be gentle when instructing opponents; for possibly God may give them a change of mind for the recognition of the truth,

mnt@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may come to their senses again, and escape the snare of the devil, as they are restored to life by God to do his will.
