22. Avoid the passions of youth, and strive for righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who with a pure heart call out to the Lord for help.
23. But keep away from foolish and ignorant arguments; you know that they end up in quarrels.
24. As the Lord's servant, you must not quarrel. You must be kind towards all, a good and patient teacher,
25. gentle as you correct your opponents, for it may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth.
26. And then they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the Devil, who had caught them and made them obey his will.
