that each man among you should learn to take his own wife out of pure and honorable motives,

In any great house there are not only gold and silver articles but also wooden utensils, some for honorable uses and some for lowly uses.

So if a man will cleanse himself from these things, he will be an instrument for honorable uses, consecrated, useful for the Master, and ready for any good service.

Now, brothers, practice thinking on what is true, what is honorable, what is right, what is pure, what is lovable, what is high-toned, yes, on everything that is excellent or praiseworthy.
