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.
