Teaching Better than Controversy
2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,


This is what the servant of God should really aim at being: the teacher rather than the controversialist — rather the patient endurer of wrong than the fomenter of dissentions and wordy strifes.

(H. D. M Spence, M. A.)
