2 Timothy 2:24-26
International Standard Version
2 Timothy 2:24-26
International Standard Version
24 A servant[a] of the Lord must not argue. Instead, he must be kind to everyone, teachable,[b] willing to suffer wrong, 25 and gentle when refuting opponents. After all, maybe God will allow them to repent and to come to a full knowledge of the truth, 26 so that they might escape from the Devil’s snare, even though they’ve been held captive by him to do his will.
