2 Timothy 2:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ A servant of the Lord should not engage in quarrels but should be kind to everyone. He should be a good teacher and patient, ²⁵ correcting with gentleness those who oppose him. For God may grant them repentance so that they may come to recognize the truth ²⁶ and regain their senses, enabling them to escape the snare of the devil who had held them captive and subjected them to his will.
