Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:20

Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.See the comment under the preceding verse.Vessels of gold ... silver ... wood ... earth ... The eternal mystery of why there should be vessels of dishonor in God's church is perpetual. There was a Ham in the ark, an Esau in the womb of Rebekah, and a Judas among the Twelve. The thing in view here is that even the vessels of dishonor will serve the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:21

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master's use, prepared unto every good work.If a man purge himself from these ... The way this stands it seems to say, "if one purge himself from the vessels unto dishonor," but that is evidently not the meaning.The image is better maintained if we understand "from these" to mean the babblings, and ungodliness, and eating words of the heretics denounced.[30] read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 2:21

2 Timothy 2:21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, &c.— The meaning seems to be, that Timothy and other Christians were carefully to avoid the faults of the Judaizers, keeping themselves pure and clean from their corrupt doctrines and practices, and exerting themselves to promote the true Gospel of Christ; and then, instead of being vessels merely useful in some capacity, they would be vessels unto honour, fitted for the use of the master of the family, the greatest and most... read more

B. Charge to remain faithful 2:14-26Paul turned from his emphasis on the importance of enduring hardship in the preceding verses (2 Timothy 2:1-13) to continue to emphasize Timothy’s need to remain faithful to the Lord. He did this to motivate him further to persevere."In this section, there is a shift in the didactic strategy from an emphasis on models to instruction with maxims and specific commands."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Timothy 2:20-21

Paul employed a different illustration to emphasize the same point. In the church there are individuals who honor the Lord as a result of their dedication to follow His truth. These people are useful to the Lord in His work because their commitment to His Word prepares them for His service. However there are also Christians who because of their lack of commitment to God’s truth bring dishonor on Him while they seek to be His instruments of service (e.g., false teachers). If someone avoids the... read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - 2 Timothy 2:21

2:21 purified (b-6) The word for 'purified' is only found here and 1 Corinthians 5:7 , 'Purge out.' There it was to get rid of the old leaven out of the lump; here the one who names the name of the Lord has to purge himself from among the vessels. Hence we have an additional preposition which is rendered by 'separating from.' Lit. 'purified himself away from these.' Master, (c-26) Despotes , as Acts 4:24 . read more
