Bible in Basic English
"And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God."
— 2 Timothy 2:26-1964, Bible in Basic English
“And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. ”
And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble.
For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,
Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,
And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.
