14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord, that they striue not about words to no profite, but to the subuerting of the hearers.
15 Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diuiding the word of trueth.
16 But shun profane and vaine bablings, for they will increase vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 And their word will eate as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus.
18 Who concerning the trueth haue erred, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and ouerthrow the faith of some.
19 Neuerthelesse the foundation of God standeth sure, hauing the seale, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let euery one that nameth the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20 But in a great house, there are not onely vessels of gold, and of siluer, but also a wood, & of earth: and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himselfe from these, he shal be a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Masters vse, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
22 Flie also youthfull lusts: but follow righteousnesse, faith, charitie, peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and vnlearned questions auoid, knowing that they doe gender strifes.
24 And the seruant of the Lord must not striue: but bee gentle vnto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekenesse instructing those that oppose themselues, if God peraduenture will giue them repentance to the acknowledging of the trueth.
26 And that they may recouer themselues out of the snare of the deuill, who are taken captiue by him at his will.
