“He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.”
2 Timothy 2:25 (BSB)
Context Reading
23But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling. 24And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing. 25He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth. 26Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
