2 Timothy 2:24

Read in context

2 Timothy 2:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.

24 And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.

25 He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

26 Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
