2 Timothy 2:25

“in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,”

Verse in context — 2 Timothy 2

But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

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