2 Timothy 2:18-20
International Children’s Bible
18 They have left the true teaching. They say that the rising from death of all men has already taken place. And those two men are destroying the faith of some people. 19 But God’s strong foundation continues to stand. These words are written on that foundation: “The Lord knows those who belong to him.”[a] And also these words are written on that foundation, “Everyone who says that he believes in the Lord must stop doing wrong.”
20 In a large house there are things made of gold and silver. But also there are things made of wood and clay. Some things are used for special purposes, and others are made for ordinary jobs.
