Don't pick a fight, be used

2 Timothy 2:14-26

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 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. But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk with spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have swered from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting of some. But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows who are his." and " Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of godl and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessesl for honorable use, set aprat as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
So flee youthful passions and pursue 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, patinetly enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to aknowledge of the truth and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
