2 Timothy 2:22

A Worker Approved To God And Not Ashamed

²¹ If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work. ²² But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart. ²³ And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.
