2 Timothy 2:14

14 Remind your people of this, and give them a solemn warning in God's presence not to fight over words. It does no good, but only ruins the people who listen.

2 Timothy 2:14 In-Context

12 If we continue to endure, we shall also rule with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 If we are not faithful, he remains faithful, because he cannot be false to himself."
14 Remind your people of this, and give them a solemn warning in God's presence not to fight over words. It does no good, but only ruins the people who listen.
15 Do your best to win full approval in God's sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God's truth.
16 Keep away from profane and foolish discussions, which only drive people farther away from God.
