If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, х Ean (G1437) tis (G5100) ekkatharee (G1571) heauton (G1438) apo (G575) toutoon (G5130)] - 'If one (ex. gr., thou, Timothy) purify himself (so as to separate) from among these' (vessels unto dishonour). 'No communion with impugners of fundamentals' (Elliott), as the false teachers. Not, from "profane ... babblings" (2 Timothy 2:16).
Sanctified - set apart as consecrated to the Lord.
And meet - `serviceable' (2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 1:11); subserving God's х euchreeston (G2173): 'profitable'], glory and their own salvation. 'Aleph (') Delta G f g omit "and." C, Vulgate, have it.
The master's - of "the house:" the Lord. Paul was such a vessel: once among those of earth, afterward he became by grace one of gold.
Prepared (according as opportunities may occur) unto every good work (2 Timothy 3:17; Titus 3:1). Contrast Titus 1:16.
