Do not quarrel about useless matters. Christ prays for unity (Jn 17) amongst believers, so apart from non-negotiable doctrines, do not let your debates (which can be done in a healthy way), turn to quarrels, which divide. Especially do not quarrel in the presence of unbelievers. "Rightly handle" (v. 16) implies that there is a way to "wrongly handle" the word of truth (e.g. right teaching for wrong purposes, or wrong teaching altogether). Guard your faith from unfaithful teachings. Test the spirits (1 John 4:1) True believers persevere despite poor teaching (v 19a and b) Believers demonstrate their election by proof of sanctification (departing from iniquity in v 19c). Sanctification allows believers to be cleansed and used for God's work. Actively pursue godliness in the context of other believers who are also seeking the Lord with a pure heart (v. 22c). Verses 23-26 are all connected: Paul again preaches against participating in foolish controversies (v 23a). A description of how we ought to serve the Lord (v. 24-25). Not Quarrelsome Kind to Everyone Able to Teach Patiently Enduring Evil Gently Correcting Opponents Doing these things sets the stage for God granting repentance. People do not have the power/desire to repent on their own. (v 25 b). Repentance is gift of enablement from God to an unbeliever. This repentance leads to a knowledge of the truth (v 25c). Knowledge of truth does not precede repentance. Due to depravity caused by sin, knowledge of the truth comes only as an element of holistic sanctification by the Holy Spirit after regeneration. Unbelievers are currently "captured" by Satan to do his will. Freedom from this bondange comes through salvation in Christ (v. 26).

2 Timothy

2 Timothy 2:14-26

NT

esv

mine

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words ,

which does no good,

but only ruins the hearers.

actionresult

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved ,

a worker who has no need to be ashamed,

rightly handling the word of truth.

negativepositive

ideaexplanation

But avoid irreverent babble,

Avoid "empty discussion, discussion of vain and useless matters"

for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

and their talk will spread like gangrene.

Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

who have swerved from the truth,

saying that the resurrection has already happened.

actionmanner

They are upsetting the faith of some.

comparison

But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal:

"The Lord knows those who are his,"

and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."

Now in a great house

In a great house

there are not only vessels of gold and silver

There are not only vessels of gold and silver for honorable use,

but also of wood and clay,

but also vessels of wood and clay for dishonorable use.

some for honorable use,

some for dishonorable.

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,

he will be a vessel for honorable use,

set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.

conditional

So flee youthful passions

So run from inferior/elementary lusts

and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace,

and instead chase after and catch righteousness, faith, love, and peace

along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies;

you know that they breed quarrels.

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome

but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness.

God may perhaps grant them repentance

Once this happens, God might enable a person to repent,

leading to a knowledge of the truth,

and repentance leads to knowledge of the truth.

and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

which then allows a person to return to a sober mind, and escape from the devil's schemes, after being capture by him to do his will.
