## 2 Timothy 2:19-20 in Context (Verses 16–23 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/16) But shun profane *and* vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/17) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/19) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/20) 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 honour, and some to dishonour.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/21) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, *and* prepared unto every good work.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/22) Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-timothy/2/23) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
 
[2 Timothy 1](/kjv/2-timothy/1) [2 Timothy 3](/kjv/2-timothy/3)
