The firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord
knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who names the name of the
Lord is to abstain from wickedness."
Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels,
but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor
and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these
things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master,
prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:19-21
