2Ti 2:21. Ἐὰν οὖν τις, if a man therefore) for example, Timothy.-ἐκκαθάρῃ ἑαυτὸν ἀπὸ τούτων) by purging himself, shall go forth from the number of these vessels, to dishonour. The active voice with the reciprocal pronoun indicates the utmost freedom of power on the part of believers.-ἡγιασμένον, sanctified) The peculiar property of God, and entirely devoted to Him.-καὶ, and) εἰς τιμήν-ἡτοιμασμένον, for honour-prepared, forms four clauses; of which the first is explained by the second, the third by the fourth. Therefore and connects these two pairs. Comp. 2Ti 3:17, ἄρτιος-ἐξηρτισμένος.-τῷ δεσπότῃ, truly-serviceable to the Master) viz. God, whose house Paul in his epistles to Timothy calls the church.-πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν, every good work) ch. 2Ti 3:17; Tit 1:16.
