2 Timothy / Question
Question source
2 Timothy
Paul says a great house has vessels for honorable and dishonorable use in 2 Timothy 2:20. He adds that if someone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart and useful to the master in 2 Timothy 2:21. The picture connects purity with readiness for good work.
20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
21If a man therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master`s use, prepared for every good work.
