2 Timothy 2:22-26

22So aflee byouthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with cthose who call on the Lord dfrom a pure heart. 23Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant econtroversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24And fthe Lord’s servant
Greek bondservant
must not be quarrelsome but hkind to everyone, iable to teach, patiently enduring evil,
25correcting his opponents jwith gentleness. God kmay perhaps grant them repentance lleading to a knowledge of the truth, 26and they may come to their senses and escape from mthe snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
