2 Timothy 2:21-25

21Those who stop associating with dishonorable people will be honored. They will be set apart for the master’s use, prepared to do good things.

22Stay away from lusts which tempt young people. Pursue what has God’s approval. Pursue faith, love, and peace together with those who worship the Lord with a pure heart.

23Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments. You know they cause quarrels.

24A servant of the Lord must not quarrel. Instead, he must be kind to everyone. He must be a good teacher. He must be willing to suffer wrong.

25He must be gentle in correcting those who oppose the Good News. Maybe God will allow them to change the way they think and act and lead them to know the truth.
