King James Version
"In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;"
— 2 Timothy 2:25, King James Version
“in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, ”
“in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,”
“correcting opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance and then knowledge of the truth”
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
