2 Timothy 2:20-26

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁰ Now in ^(A)a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, ^(B)some for honourable use, some for dishonourable. ²¹ Therefore, ^(C)if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonourable,^[a] he will be a vessel for honourable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ^(D)ready for every good work.

²² So ^(E)flee ^(F)youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with ^(G)those who call on the Lord ^(H)from a pure heart. ²³ Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant ^(I)controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. ²⁴ And ^(J)the Lord's servant^[b] must not be quarrelsome but ^(K)kind to everyone, ^(L)able to teach, patiently enduring evil, ²⁵ correcting his opponents ^(M)with gentleness. God ^(N)may perhaps grant them repentance ^(O)leading to a knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may come to their senses and escape from ^(P)the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
