A Worker Approved To God And Not Ashamed

18 Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some. 19 But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil. 20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.
