tcent 2Timothy:2:14-26
tcent@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind them of these things, and charge them in the presence of God to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
tcent@2Timothy:2:15 @ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
tcent@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
tcent@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.
tcent@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, having this seal: »The Lord knows those who are his,« and, »Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.«
tcent@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.
tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
tcent@2Timothy:2:22 @ Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
tcent@2Timothy:2:23 @ Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know that they produce quarrels.
tcent@2Timothy:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome, but he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged,
tcent@2Timothy:2:25 @ with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,
tcent@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
