2 Timothy 2:24-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁴ And the Lord’s servant^[a] must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, patient, ²⁵ correcting opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth, ²⁶ and that they may escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.^[b]
