2 Timothy 2:24

These ignorant controversies breed quarrels. This type of behavior does not align with servants of the Lord. Instead, they are to be kind to everyone. Breeding quarrels does not show kindness to everyone, but is instead quite aggressive and opposing to others. Servants of the Lord should be able to teach. Instead of opposing and quarrelling with others, they should try to teach. Quarrelling attacks, but teaching instructs. What's also mentioned is that they patiently endure evil. When evil comes, servants of the Lord are not to fail or fall under the coming evil, but they are to endure through it. This may be linked to ignorant controversies and evil. Perhaps the evil to be endured may be others trying to quarrel with them and bring them into this foolishness. It may be tempting to partake in these things, but the Lord's servant must be kind, able to teach and patient.
