2 Timothy 2:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 If someone avoids these things I have mentioned, he will be regarded as a vessel of special value, dedicated and useful for the master of the house, and ready to perform any good work.
22 Turn away from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord[a] with a pure heart. 23 Avoid foolish and stupid speculations, for you are well aware that they only result in quarrels.
