Read in context

2 Timothy 2:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

18 who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

20 A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.
