King James Version (KJV)

2 Timothy 2:24

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,”

Verse in context — 2 Timothy 2

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Paul’s final letter, urging faithfulness to the gospel.
