2 Timothy 2:24-26

New Testament for Everyone

²⁴ and the Lord’s servant mustn’t be a fighter, but must be gentle to all people, able to teach, able to bear evil without resentment, ²⁵ able to correct opponents with a meek spirit. It may be that God will give them repentance so that they can arrive at a knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and, in coming to their senses, escape the devil’s snare, after having been held captive by him and made to do his will.
