American Standard Version
24 And the Lord’s [a]servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, 25 in meekness [b]correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may [c]recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been [d]taken captive [e]by him unto his will.
