2 Tm 2:21-26

21If anyone cleanses himself of these things, he will be a vessel for lofty use, dedicated, beneficial to the master of the house, ready for every good work.^r 22So turn from youthful desires and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord^* with purity of heart.^s 23Avoid foolish and ignorant debates, for you know that they breed quarrels.^t 24A slave of the Lord should not quarrel, but should be gentle with everyone, able to teach, tolerant,^u 25correcting opponents with kindness. It may be that God will grant them repentance that leads to knowledge of the truth,^v 26^* and that they may return to their senses out of the devil’s snare,^w where they are entrapped by him, for his will.
