In a world of word‑wars and false teachers, cut Scripture straight and don’t cut people down. In 2 Timothy 2:14–26, Paul charges Timothy to avoid quarrels that “ruin hearers,” handle truth to be “approved” before God, cleanse himself as an honorable vessel, and correct opponents with gentleness so God can grant repentance. This message calls us to flee controversies, pursue righteousness with pure‑hearted believers, and treat even “opponents” as captives God can rescue.
