* Of these things put them in remembrance (5720 ), charging (5740 ) them before the Lord that they strive not about words (5721 ) to no profit , but to the subverting of the hearers (5723 ). * Study (5657 ) to shew (5658 ) thyself approved unto God , a workman that needeth not to be ashamed , rightly dividing (5723 ) the word of truth . * But shun (5732 ) profane and vain babblings : for they will increase (5692 ) unto more ungodliness . * And their word will eat (5692 ) as doth a canker : of whom is (5748 ) Hymenaeus and Philetus ; * Who concerning the truth have erred (5656 ), saying (5723 ) that the resurrection is past (5755 ) already ; and overthrow (5719 ) the faith of some . * Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth (5707 ) (5758 ) sure , having (5723 ) this seal , The Lord knoweth (5627 ) them that are (5752 ) his . And , Let every one that nameth (5723 ) the name of Christ depart (5628 ) from iniquity . * But in a great house there are (5748 ) not only vessels of gold and of silver , but also of wood and of earth ; and some to honour , and some to dishonour . * If a man therefore purge (5661 ) himself from these , he shall be (5704 ) a vessel unto honour , sanctified (5772 ), and meet for the masters use , and prepared (5772 ) unto every good work . * Flee (5720 ) also youthful lusts : but follow (5720 ) righteousness , faith , charity , peace , with them that call on (5734 ) the Lord out of a pure heart . * But foolish and unlearned questions avoid (5737 ), knowing (5761 ) that they do gender (5719 ) strifes . * And the servant of the Lord must (5748 ) not strive (5738 ); but be (5750 ) gentle unto all men , apt to teach , patient , * In meekness instructing (5723 ) those that oppose themselves (5734 ); if God peradventure will give (5632 ) them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ; * And that they may recover themselves (5661 ) out of the snare of the devil , who are taken captive (5772 ) by him at his will .
