2 Timothy 2:23

2 Timothy 2:23

21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor,¹ sanctified and useful for the Master, ^aprepared for every good work.

22 ^aFlee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

24 And ^aa servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, ^bable to teach, ^cpatient,

25 ^ain humility correcting those who are in opposition, ^bif God perhaps will grant them repentance, ^cso that they may know the truth,

26 and that they may come to their senses and ^aescape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
