Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
If a man . . . purge himself from these—The Greek expresses "If one (for example, thou, Timothy) purify himself (so as to separate) from among these" (vessels unto dishonor).
sanctified—set apart as wholly consecrated to the Lord.
and meet—Some oldest manuscripts omit "and."
the master's—the Lord's. Paul himself was such a vessel: once one among those of earth, but afterwards he became by grace one of gold.
prepared unto every good work— (II Timothy 3:17; Titus 3:1). Contrast Titus 1:16.
