2 Timothy 2:19 - John Wesley's Notes

2 Timothy 2:19

17 And their message will spread like cancer. ^aHymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

18 who have strayed concerning the truth, ^asaying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless ^athe solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord ^bknows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of¹ Christ depart from iniquity.”

20 But in a great house there are not only ^avessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor,¹ sanctified and useful for the Master, ^aprepared for every good work.

22 ^aFlee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

2 Timothy 2:19

But the foundation of God - His truth and faithfulness. Standeth fast - Can never be overthrown; being as it were sealed with a seal, which has an inscription on each side: on the one, The Lord knoweth those that are his; on the other, Let every one who nameth the name of the Lord, as his Lord, depart from iniquity. Indeed, they only are his who depart from iniquity. To all others he will say, "I know you not." Matthew 7:22-23
