2 Timothy 2:23-26
Wycliffe Bible
23 And eschew thou foolish questions, and without knowing [Forsooth shun thou foolish questions, and without discipline], witting that those gender chidings.
24 But it behooveth the servant of the Lord to chide not [to not chide]; but to be mild to all men, able to teach, patient,
25 with temperance reproving them that against-stand the truth, that sometime God give to them repenting, that they know the truth [that sometime God give them penance to know the truth],
26 and that they rise again from the snares of the devil, of whom they be held prisoners at his will [of whom they be holden captive at his will].

2 Timothy 2:23-26
New International Version
23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.(A) 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.(B) 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,(C) 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil,(D) who has taken them captive to do his will.
