31 Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice.(A)
24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, patient,(A)
25 correcting opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth(A)
