II Tim 2--Depart from Sin, Characteristics of Servants

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of truth.

The Lord knows those who are His.

Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
We should be pursuing holiness. Fleeing from sin. When we fall, we should hate it and be disgusted, not be diving into sin and reveling in it.

Avoid foolish disputes knowing that they generate strife.

A servant of the Lord must
--not quarrel
--be gentle to all
--be able to teach
--be patient
--in humility correct those who are in opposition.

God grants repentance.
It's all by God's grace and He will get all the glory!
