2 Timothy 2:22

Read in context

2 Timothy 2:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

21 So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

22 Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.

24 And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.
