2 Timothy 2:23-26

International Standard Version

²³ Do not have anything to do with foolish and stupid discussions, because you know they breed arguments. 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.
