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.

but now [that extraordinary purpose and grace] has been fully disclosed and realized by us through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who [through His incarnation and earthly ministry] abolished death [making it null and void] and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.
