2 Timothy 2:24-26

New American Standard Bible

^24 (A)The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, ^(B)skillful in teaching, patient when wronged, ^25 (C)with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, ^(D)if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to ^(E)the knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and they may come to their senses and escape from ^(F)the snare of the devil, having been ^(G)held captive ^[a]by him to do his will.
