Legacy Standard Bible
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant (A)speculations, knowing that they (B)produce [a]quarrels. 24 (C)And the Lord’s slave must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, (D)able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 (E)with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, (F)if perhaps God may give them repentance leading to (G)the full knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from (H)the snare of the devil, having been (I)held captive [b]by him to do his will.

2 Timothy 2:23-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant arguments, since you know they breed quarrels. 24 It is necessary that a servant of the Lord not quarrel but be kind toward everyone, able to teach, able to bear evil without resentment, 25 and gentle in correcting those who oppose him. God may grant them repentance, leading to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the Devil’s trap, after they were captured by him to do his will.
