17and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: or whom is Hymenaeus an Philetus;
18men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
19Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.
21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master`s use, prepared unto every good work.
22after righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.
