If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and fit for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:21 Go To 2 Timothy 2
Basil the Great
AD 379
The infinite God, remaining changeless, assumed flesh and fought with death, freeing us from suffering by his own suffering! … He himself has bound the strong man and plundered his goods—that is, us, who had been abased in every manner of evil—and made us vessels fit for the Master’s use, the use of our free will being made ready for any good work.
