2 Timothy 2:20 — Community Reflections

2 TIMOTHY 2:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.”

Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use and some for dishonorable. — The household (oikos) contains mixed furnishings: some skeuē (vessels) ordained for timē (honor), others for atimia (dishonor). The metaphor allows for diversity of rank and function within the community.
