2 Timothy 2:24 in context

  1. 22Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
  2. 23But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
  3. 24The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
  4. 25in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
  5. 26and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
