디모데후서 2장 24-26절

 주님의 종은 다투지 말아야 합니다. 그는 모든 사람에게 온유하고, 잘 가르치고, 참을성이 있어야 하고, 반대하는 사람을 온화하게 바로잡아 주어야 합니다. 그렇게 하면, 아마도 하나님께서 그 반대하는 사람들을 회개시키셔서, 진리를 깨닫게 하실 것입니다. 그들은 악마에게 사로잡혀서 악마의 뜻을 좇았지만, 정신을 차려서 그 악마의 올무에서 벗어날 것입니다._새번역성경

主の 僕たる 者は 争ってはならない。だれに 対しても 親切であって、よく 敎え、よく 忍び、反対する 者を 柔和な 心で 敎え 導くべきである。おそらく 神は、彼らに 悔改めの 心を 与えて、真理を 知らせ、一度は 悪魔に 捕えられてその 欲するままになっていても、目ざめて 彼のわなからのがれさせて 下さるであろう。_口語訳 

The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. _NASB 

God’s servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps cool, working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth, enabling them to escape the Devil’s trap, where they are caught and held captive, forced to run his errands._The Message
