2 Timothy 2:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ So if anyone purifies himself from anything dishonorable,^[a] he will be a special^[b] instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.^(A)

²² Flee^(B) from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace,^(C) along with those who call on the Lord^(D) from a pure heart. ²³ But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels.
