2 Timothy 2:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ All who cleanse themselves of the things I have mentioned^[a] will become special utensils, dedicated and useful to the owner of the house, ready for every good work. ²² Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. ²³ Have nothing to do with stupid and senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
