But shun profane and vain utterances: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:16 Go To 2 Timothy 2
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
And the servant of the Lord ought not to strive; but to be gentle, docile to all men, patient with modesty, correcting those who resist, lest at any time God may give them repentance to the acknowledgment of the truth, and recover themselves from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will."
