Twice Paul talks about a house having vessels for noble and ignoble use. Some will be used for drinking wine, eating great food. Other vessels will be used for less laudable purposes.

• Numbers 22:1–41 :: Was Balaam an ignoble vessel?
• Luke 11:37–41 :: Jesus castigates the Pharisees for being “clean” only on the outside
• Romans 9:21 :: ignoble vs noble vessels
• 2 Timothy 2:20 :: ignoble vs noble vessels
