2 Timothy 2:20 in Context — 2 Timothy 2

18 Esses se desviaram da verdade, dizendo que a ressurreição já aconteceu; e perverteram a fé de alguns.

19 Porém o fundamento de Deus continua firme, e tem este selo: o Senhor conhece os que são seus, e que todo aquele que faz uso do nome de Cristo, se afaste da injustiça.

20 Numa grande casa não há somente utensílios de ouro e de prata, mas também de madeira e de barro; e uns para honra, porém outros para desonra.

21 Portanto, se alguém se purificar destas coisas, será utensílio para honra, santificado e adequado para uso do Dono, [e] preparado para toda boa obra.

22 Foge também dos desejos da juventude; e segue a justiça, a fé, o amor, [e] a paz, com os que, de coração puro, invocam o Senhor.
