²⁰ Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver implements, but also implements of wood and of earthenware, and ^(A)some are for honor while others are for dishonor. ²¹ Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from ^(B)these things, he will be an implement for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, ^(C)prepared for every good work. ²² Now ^(D)flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, ^(E)faith, love, and peace with those who ^(F)call on the Lord ^(G)from a pure heart. ²³ But refuse foolish and ignorant ^(H)speculations, knowing that they ^(I)produce ^[a]quarrels. ^24 (J)The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, ^(K)skillful in teaching, patient when wronged, ^25 (L)with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, ^(M)if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to ^(N)the knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may come to their senses and escape from ^(O)the snare of the devil, having been ^(P)held captive ^[b]by him to do his will.
