Escape the Trap of the Devil

Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love,

and peace along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything

to do with foolish and stupid arguments because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant

must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

Opponents must be gently instructed in the hope that God will grant them repentance,

leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses

and escape from the trap of the devil who has taken them captive to do his will.
