15. Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16. But shun profane and vain utterances: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17. And their word will eat as does a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19. Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
