2 Timothy 2:20
_ _ in a great house — that is, the visible professing Christian Church (1 Timothy 3:15). Paul is speaking, not of those without, but of the [visible] family of God [Calvin]. So the parable of the sweep-net (Matthew 13:47-49) gathering together of every kind, good and bad: as the good and bad cannot be distinguished while under the waves, but only when brought to shore, so believers and unbelievers continue in the same Church, until the judgment makes the everlasting distinction. “The ark of Noah is a type of the Church; as in the former there were together the leopard and the kid, the wolf and the lamb; so in the latter, the righteous and sinners, vessels of gold and silver, with vessels of wood and earth” [Jerome, Dialogue against the Luciferians, 302] (compare Matthew 20:16).
_ _ vessels of gold ... silver — precious and able to endure fire.
_ _ of wood and earth — worthless, fragile, and soon burnt (1 Corinthians 3:12-15; 1 Corinthians 15:47).
_ _ some ... some — the former ... the latter.
_ _ to dishonour — (Proverbs 16:4; Romans 9:17-23). |
2 Timothy 2:20
But in a great house — Such as the church, it is not strange that there are not only vessels of gold and silver, designed for honourable uses, but also of wood and of earth — For less honourable purposes. Yet a vessel even of gold may be put to the vilest use, though it was not the design of him that made it. |
2 Timothy 2:20
(12) 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.
(12) The taking away of an objection: it is not dishonour to the good man of the house, that he has not in a great house all vessels of one sort and for one service, but we must look to this, that we are found vessels prepared to honour. |
