‏ 2 Timothy 2:21

 If a man purge himself ( εαν τις εκκαθαρη ). Paul drops the metaphor of the house and takes up the individual as one of the "vessels." Condition of third class with first aorist active subjunctive of  εκκαθαιρω, old verb, to cleanse out, in LXX, in N.T. only here and 1Co 5:7.

 From these ( απο τουτων ). From the vessels for dishonour of verse 20.

 Sanctified ( ηγιασμενον ). Perfect passive participle of  αγιαζω, for which verb see 1Co 6:11.

 Meet for the master's use ( ευχρηστον τω δεσποτω ). Dative case  δεσποτη (for which word see 1Ti 6:1) with  ευχρηστον, neuter singular like  ηγιασμενον agreeing with  σκευος. Old verbal adjective ( ευ and  χραομα, to use well), useful or usable for the master. In N.T. only here and 4:11. See  αχρηστον in Phm 11.

 Prepared ( ητοιμασμενον ). Perfect passive participle of  ετοιμαζω, in a state of readiness, old and common word, elsewhere by Paul only 1Co 2:9 (LXX).
