2 Timothy 2:18-20
New English Translation
18 They have strayed from the truth[a] by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith. 19 However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,”[b] and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord[c] must turn away from evil.”
20 Now in a wealthy home[d] there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also ones made of wood and of clay, and some are for honorable use, but others for ignoble use.[e]
