Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.

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.

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 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.

Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

Gently guiding \w those|strong="G3588"\w* \w who|strong="G3588"\w* go \w against|strong="G1519"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* teaching; \w if|strong="G3379"\w* \w by|strong="G1722"\w* chance \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w may|strong="G2316"\w* \w give|strong="G1325"\w* \w them|strong="G0846"\w* \w a|strong="G1325"\w* change \w of|strong="G2316"\w* heart \w and|strong="G2316"\w* \w true|strong="G1922"\w* \w knowledge|strong="G1922"\w*,
