Fleeing Sin and Pursuing Righteousness

2 Timothy 2:22-26

But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.

And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,

in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

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