2 Timothy2:24

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive ; but be gentle unto all men , apt to teach, patient .

He that is the Servant of the Lord in the work of the ministry,

must not [non-Latin text not transcribed], fight or strive; he must neither be a striker nor a brauler, neither fight with his hands nor his tongue.

But shew himself to all, courteous, of a soft temper meek and gentle.
