20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor. 21If a man therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master`s use, prepared for every good work. 22Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife. 24The Lord`s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, 25in gentleness correcting those who oppose him; if perhaps God may give them repentance to the knowledge of the truth, 26and they may recover themselves out of the devil`s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
