21 Therefore, if someone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 But flee from youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
23 But avoid foolish and uninformed controversies, because you know that they produce quarrels.
24 And the slave of the Lord must not quarrel, but be kind toward everyone, skillful in teaching, tolerant,
25 correcting those who are opposed with gentleness, seeing whether perhaps God may grant them repentance to a knowledge of the truth,
26 and they will come to their senses again and escape from the trap of the devil, being held captive by him to do his will.
