'Useful' in the Bible

Can wood be taken from it to make anything useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?

No! It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?

Indeed! If it was not made into anything useful when it was whole, how much less can it be made into anything when the fire has burned it up and it is charred?

So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

who was formerly useless to you, but is now useful to you and me.

For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God.
