2 Timothy 2:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ But God’s strong foundation never moves, and these words are written on it: “The Lord knows those who belong to him.”^[a] Also, these words are written there: “Everyone who says they believe in the Lord must stop doing wrong.”

²⁰ In a large house there are things made of gold and silver. But there are also things made of wood and clay. Some of these are used for special purposes, others for ordinary jobs. ²¹ The Lord wants to use you for special purposes, so make yourself clean from all evil. Then you will be holy, and the Master can use you. You will be ready for any good work.
