2 Timothy 2:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ and God's servants must not be troublemakers. They must be kind to everyone, and they must be good teachers and very patient.

²⁵ Be humble when you correct people who oppose you. Maybe God will lead them to turn to him and learn the truth. ²⁶ They have been trapped by the devil, and he makes them obey him, but God may help them escape.
