Fleeing Sin and Pursuing Righteousness

2 Timothy 2:22-26

and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

in meekness instructing those opposing--if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.
