2 Timothy 2:15-21 (Holman Christian Standard)

One verse per line

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent, empty speech, for this will produce an even greater measure of godlessness. 17 And their word will spread like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus. 18 They have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are overturning the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His, ^a and Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness.^b 20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver bowls, but also those of wood and earthenware, some for special^c use, some for ordinary. 21 So if anyone purifies himself from these things, he will be a special^d instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
